Bulletin 2023-38

Temporary Pause on New Pipeline Applications

Release Date

On November 15, 2023, a new edition of the Government of Alberta’s Pipeline Rules will come into effect, and we will release new pipelines functionality in OneStop. To prepare for this upcoming change, the AER will temporarily pause new pipeline application submissions through OneStop from Monday, November 6, 2023, to Thursday, November 16, 2023.

The temporary pause ensures that we can efficiently process applications that have already been submitted before the new Pipeline Rules coming into effect on November 15, 2023. This approach will allow for a more seamless transition to the newly updated regulatory framework.

Applications submitted before November 6, 2023, will be processed according to the current version of the Pipeline Rules and all associated regulatory instruments. Applications received after November 16, 2023, will be processed according to the amended Pipeline Rules and all associated regulatory instruments.

Please note that unsubmitted draft applications in OneStop may be impacted by the changes and could be deleted or have responses cleared. Please save your unsubmitted drafts before the release outage on November 15, 2023.
