C-NLOER
EXECUTIVE EXHIBITORS
Information
We regulate offshore energy in the Canada-Newfoundland and Labrador Offshore Area.
The C-NLOPB was created in 1986 through the Atlantic Accord and its associated, implementing federal and provincial legislation, the Canada-Newfoundland and Labrador Atlantic Accord Implementation Act, S.C. 1987, c. 3 and the Canada-Newfoundland and Labrador Atlantic Accord Implementation Newfoundland and Labrador Act, RSNL1990 c. C-2 (“the Accord Acts”).
On June 2, 2025, amendments to the Atlantic Accord Acts came into force. These amendments expand the Canada-Newfoundland and Labrador Offshore Petroleum Board’s (C-NLOPB’s) mandate to include offshore renewable energy development and have renamed the C-NLOPB to the Canada-Newfoundland and Labrador Offshore Energy Regulator (C-NLOER).
