Under the umbrella of the Energy Resources Conservation Act, the ERCB is governed by legislation to regulate development of Alberta's energy resources.

Regulations & Directives

The Energy Resources Conservation Board regulates the energy sector as authorized by various acts of the province of Alberta and the regulations under those acts.

These acts and regulations, as well as directives, interim directives, and informational letters, contain the requirements that govern the energy industry under the jurisdiction of the ERCB.

Bulletins are used to announce regulatory change but do not set out regulatory requirements.

Topical pages in the menu on the left provide access to the regulatory information by subject area.
