In this issue of By the Numbers, we examine energy outlooks and their important role in shaping our discussions about policy. We start by selecting three different scenarios from the Canada Energy Regulator’s ongoing Energy Futures series and compare these projections with the actual natural gas demand and production trends, as well as electricity demand. […]
In this issue of By the Numbers, we look at the important role storage plays in today’s energy systems, specifically the natural gas storage capacity in Canada and how it is critical to deliver reliable and stable energy supply. We will also look at the significant role that natural gas played during the cold weather […]
CGA reports information.
Access to reliable and affordable energy is a basic requirement for the growth and success of rural, remote, and Indigenous communities. Across Canada, there are many identified natural gas connection projects that could lower household energy costs, improve reliability, and support local economic development. However, under current provincial regulatory frameworks, these projects must generally be […]
Canada’s natural gas system offers affordable, reliable, and safe energy. This report looks at the main indicators for Canada’s natural gas market as we enter the 2025–26 winter heating season. A summary of these key indicators helps readers understand market fundamentals as colder months approach, furnaces are turned back on, and demand for natural gas […]
By Susanna Zagar, President and CEO, Canadian Gas Association At a time of trade uncertainty, shifting global relationships and growing energy demand, Canada has an advantage few countries possess: abundant natural gas and the infrastructure to deliver it. As we look to strengthen our economic resilience and competitiveness, we need to make greater use of […]
At CERAWeek, the message was clear: energy security is national security, and countries that enable and optimize their reliable, affordable energy with resilient delivery systems, like natural gas infrastructure, will lead at home and in the new economy. CERAWeek may not be widely known outside the energy sector, but it should be. Now in its […]
At a pivotal moment for Canada’s energy future, the Canadian Gas Association (CGA) has named Michele Harradence Chair of its Board of Directors. Michele’s appointment comes at a time when Canada is focused on strengthening energy security, supporting economic growth and meeting rising energy demand. Harradence leads Enbridge’s gas distribution and storage business, serving approximately […]
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE New proposal highlights the natural gas opportunity to lower costs, support growth and strengthen energy security. As leaders from Indigenous Nations, government, industry, and finance gather for the First Nations Major Projects Coalition Conference, the Canadian Gas Association (CGA) is calling on the federal government to support a national effort to connect […]
To help advance the RNG marketplace, the Canadian Gas Association (CGA) and the Canadian Biogas Association (CBA) joined forces to create a Canadian Renewable Natural Gas Information Network, RNGinet.
The Canadian Gas Association (CGA) is pleased to bring you the latest issue of Blue Flame, fuel for thought about Canada’s gas energy industry. This publication is for government, industry and public stakeholders who wish to learn more about Canada’s natural gas delivery industry. (August 12, 2026)
The Canadian Gas Association (CGA) is pleased to bring you the latest issue of Blue Flame, fuel for thought about Canada’s gas energy industry. This publication is for government, industry and public stakeholders who wish to learn more about Canada’s natural gas delivery industry. (July 7, 2026)
The Energy Security Technical Advisory Committee (E-STAC) is an industry-based all-hazards information sharing group, which operates as the key hub for energy industry collaboration and strategic coordination with the Canadian federal government on energy sector-related security matters.
With an emphasis on cyber security issues, E-STAC provides a trusted forum for information exchange, enhancing cyber security maturity through the building of operational technical capacity, the development of human resources, policy development, and through collaboration across other critical infrastructure sectors.
The Canadian Gas Association spearheaded E-STAC in late 2023 in light of the accelerating rise of cyber incidents impacting the energy sector and in lock-step with the federal government’s intent to focus on the energy sector the way it has historically done with the telecom and finance sectors.
Industry Chair: Enbridge Inc. (November 2023 – November 2026)
E-STAC is built on four pillars which serve to direct the various activities of focus and to guide the way in which it conducts its business. These pillars are:
In regard to security and risk management issues affecting the energy sector, E-STAC operates with the following key objectives, organized along each of the four pillars:
| Pillar | Objective |
| Community | Exchange information among industry stakeholders |
| Community | Exchange information and advice between industry and Government of Canada |
| Technical | Enhance situational awareness of all-hazards |
| Resourcing | Ensure verified, skilled, and abundant resources are available |
| Community | Collaborate with other critical infrastructure sectors |
| Technical | Grow and build operational and tactical support initiatives and research |
| Policy | Identify and provide advice on remediating strategic gaps |
E-STAC industry membership is by invitation-only and includes organizations which produce, transmit, and distribute energy to meet the needs of the Canadian economy and public. Member organizations are represented by senior executives, such as Chief Technology Officers (CTO) and Chief Information Security Officers (CISO).

It enables organizations to measure and compare their phishing susceptibility using standardized tests, ensuring fair and actionable benchmarking.
Actionable Insights:
Participants gain sector-wide visibility into key cybersecurity metrics, helping them identify gaps, prioritize improvements, and demonstrate program effectiveness.
Best Practice Sharing:
The program fosters best practice sharing, with top performers contributing strategies that help raise the bar for all participants.
Continuous Improvement:
Year-over-year trends reveal meaningful progress, supporting continuous improvement in awareness programs.
Strategic Value:
By joining, companies gain comparative insights, access to emerging best practices, and a role in shaping continental standards for cybersecurity awareness.
Future Expansion:
The program is expanding to include more industry associations, aiming to create a North American platform for cyber resilience. Contact us at Cyber@cga.ca to learn how to participate.
CYBEX is an annual benchmarking project under the E-STAC program, designed to measure cybersecurity maturity across energy sector organizations. It evaluates staffing, budgets, frameworks, operational technology (OT) accountability, patching practices, and risk management.
Our annual CYBEX benchmarking project helps organizations measure and improve cybersecurity maturity across IT and OT environments. It’s a chance to see where you stand and learn from industry peers.
A sneak peek from this year’s results:
Your input shapes these insights. The more voices we have, the stronger the benchmark becomes. Join us in the next round and help raise the bar for cybersecurity excellence. Contact Cyber@cga.ca for more info.
E-STAC has a Cyber Security Task Force (CS TF) at its disposal to action various cyber security focused initiatives. The CS TF has existed under CGA’s leadership since about 2013 and has conducted many cyber security-focused initiatives over the years, including the development of industrial control system cyber security guidance, C2M2 workshops, various webinars, the development of a technical information sharing initiative referred to as the Blue Flame Program, and others.
Members of E-STAC have either separately or collectively developed various resources for the sector. Some of these include:
