Indigenous communities in Canada are increasing their ownership stakes in major energy infrastructure projects, including pipelines and liquefied natural gas (LNG) facilities, according to a report from the Canada Energy Regulator (CER).
Since 2021, Indigenous communities have acquired interests in more than 5,000 kilometres of operating oil and natural gas pipelines, the CER said. Ownership could expand further if the federal government advances plans to increase Indigenous participation in the Trans Mountain Expansion project.
