Background Reports
To better understand the four areas of potential impact, the OEB has retained prominent technical advisors to provide advice to the OEB on the potential risks and benefits of the proposed Energy East Pipeline for Ontario. These technical advisors will work closely together to ensure a full understanding of the areas of potential impact, particularly where they are interrelated (e.g. pipeline safety and environmental considerations). Their reports will be publicly available as part of the province wide consultation and will include analysis and input on the following topics:
- Pipeline engineering and safety
- Environmental and socio-economic considerations
- Natural gas pricing and supply
The technical advisors hired by the OEB will each write two reports – a Background and a Final Report – outlining the potential impacts of the proposed project. These reports together with input received from the public, First Nations and Métis, and stakeholders will be considered by the OEB in preparation of its report to the Minister.

TransCanada’s Energy East Proposal
As a part of the National Energy Board’s pipeline review process, TransCanada is required to undertake its own analysis and produce information on the economic, environmental and socio-economic impacts of its Energy East proposal. We haveve included a link to their website below. It includes fact sheets, FAQs and other information written specifically for the public. We will post key documents that TransCanada submits to the National Energy Board regarding its Energy East proposal and other related projects as they become available. We have also included links to the NEB's Energy East web page and a few documents that provide information on the NEB hearing process.
