The Canadian federal government has announced regulatory changes that will exempt certain energy projects from a layer of its environmental assessment process. Key among these are interprovincial pipelines, offshore renewable energy projects, and specific fossil fuel-related developments. Under the new rules, these projects will no longer undergo review by the Impact Assessment Agency of Canada (IAAC), instead being assessed solely by the Canada Energy Regulator (CER). The move aims to streamline approval processes and reduce regulatory costs for developers, with officials emphasizing that environmental considerations will still be addressed by a single regulatory body. The changes come after Prime Minister Mark Carney's promise to expedite major projects during the 2025 election campaign. Critics, however, argue that the reforms weaken environmental safeguards, while supporters highlight potential economic benefits for attracting investment. The decision was announced alongside the release of consultation reports on proposed regulatory reforms, marking a significant shift in Canada's approach to energy project approvals. The government's rationale centers on balancing environmental responsibility with economic growth, though environmental advocates warn of potential risks to ecological protections. This development is part of broader efforts to modernize regulatory frameworks, with implications for both domestic and international energy projects. The shift from dual to single regulatory oversight raises questions about the comprehensiveness of environmental assessments and the long-term impact on Canada's energy sector. As the new system takes effect, stakeholders will be closely monitoring its implementation and the potential consequences for project timelines, environmental outcomes, and regulatory transparency.

The Dominican Republic’s Manzanillo LNG-to-power project has selected global law firm White & Case to advise lead arrangers and joint structuring agents Citibank and JPMorgan Chase on the $900 mn project, the law firm announced on August 18. The project will involve the design, development, construction, operation and maintenance of two combined-cycle thermal power plants. The two power plants will each have an installed capacity of 420 MW. Additionally, the project will include a jetty and related infrastructure for a floating storage and regasification unit and will also feature transmission infrastructure to inject electricity into the Dominican Republic’s grid. Santo Domingo has earmarked the project as a key strategic investment. The Caribbean country faces challenges in energy procurement and consequently it is leaning heavily into floating storage and regasification units, which offer the country fast deployment and scalability. In April 2025, the Dominican Republic signed a 15-year deal for the supply of 400,000 tonnes per year (tpy) of super-chilled fuel from French supermajor TotalEnergies. The deal is set to begin in mid-2027 with the price indexed to Henry Hub. The Dominican Republic will use the LNG to power a 470-MW combined-cycle power plant, which is under construction near the town of Boca Chica, about 25 km east of Santo Domingo. Additionally, in May 2025, the Caribbean country inked a three-year charter deal with US firm New Fortress Energy for Energos Freeze, a floating storage and regasification unit, which began operations in September 2025. The Energos Freeze has a capacity of 125,000 cubic metres. LNG is central to the Dominican Republic’s decarbonization plan as the country seeks to reduce its dependance on coal and fuel use to lower-carbon gases such as natural gas. In July, the Dominican Republic imported 271.6 mn cubic metres of LNG.
