Major Projects Inventory

Major Projects Inventory Natural Resources Canada’s Major Projects Inventory published annually, provides a snapshot of major natural resource projects in Canada that are either currently under construction or are planned within the next 10 years. The inventory includes major projects that increase, extend or improve natural resource production in Canada, including new extraction projects, infrastructure projects, major processing facilities and large expansion projects. In addition, the inventory includes information on the value, timing and geographic location of projects. To be included in the inventory, projects in the energy and mining sectors must meet a minimum capital worth threshold of $50 million and electricity and forest sector projects must meet a threshold of $20 million. Also included in the inventory are clean energy and clean technology projects, which must meet a minimum capital worth threshold of $10 million. DISCLAIMER: Data is sourced from federal, provincial, and territorial databases, publicly accessible websites, and other sources, including CANOILS. Data and maps are for illustrative purposes only. Users understand that, although all efforts have been made to accurately and exhaustively compile, locate and classify projects, the authors do not guarantee the accuracy and/or the comprehensiveness of the data and assume no responsibility for errors or omissions. The routes of the proposed transmission lines and pipelines are approximations, often using only start and end points. In support of this initiative, proponents and partners are encouraged to contact Natural Resources Canada should they identify any significant errors or omissions. 2023-11-28 Natural Resources Canada nrcan_questions-questions_rncan@nrcan-rncan.gc.ca Economics and IndustryCanadaEnergyNatural resourcesMining industryRenewable energyForestry industryEconomic development Major Projects InventoryESRI REST https://maps-cartes.services.geo.ca/server_serveur/rest/services/NRCan/major_projects_inventory_en/MapServer ESRI ShapefileSHP https://ftp.maps.canada.ca/pub/nrcan_rncan/Natural-resources_Ressources-naturelles/major_projects_inventory/major_projects_inventory.shp.zip ESRI ShapefileSHP https://ftp.maps.canada.ca/pub/nrcan_rncan/Natural-resources_Ressources-naturelles/major_projects_inventory/inventaire_des_grands_projets.shp.zip Major Projects Planned and Under Construction – 2023 to 2033 (English Report)PDF https://natural-resources.canada.ca/sites/nrcan/files/emmc/pdf/2023/2023-Major-Projects-Inventory-Report_EN_14Nov2023_OP.pdf Major Projects Planned and Under Construction – 2023 to 2033 (French Report)PDF https://ressources-naturelles.canada.ca/sites/nrcan/files/emmc/pdf/2023/2023-Major-Projects-Inventory-Report_FR-14-Nov-2023_OP.pdf Major Projects InventoryESRI REST https://maps-cartes.services.geo.ca/server_serveur/rest/services/NRCan/major_projects_inventory_fr/MapServer OGC Web Mapping ServiceWMS https://maps-cartes.services.geo.ca/server_serveur/services/NRCan/major_projects_inventory_fr/MapServer/WMSServer?request=GetCapabilities&service=WMS OGC Web Mapping ServiceWMS https://maps-cartes.services.geo.ca/server_serveur/services/NRCan/major_projects_inventory_en/MapServer/WMSServer?request=GetCapabilities&service=WMS ESRI File Geodatabase with ArcMap project file (MXD)FGDB/GDB https://ftp.maps.canada.ca/pub/nrcan_rncan/Natural-resources_Ressources-naturelles/major_projects_inventory/major_projects_inventory_en.gdb.zip ESRI File Geodatabase with ArcMap project file (MXD)FGDB/GDB https://ftp.maps.canada.ca/pub/nrcan_rncan/Natural-resources_Ressources-naturelles/major_projects_inventory/major_projects_inventory_fr.gdb.zip Google Earth Map FileKMZ https://ftp.maps.canada.ca/pub/nrcan_rncan/Natural-resources_Ressources-naturelles/major_projects_inventory/major_projects_inventory_en.kmz Google Earth Map FileKMZ https://ftp.maps.canada.ca/pub/nrcan_rncan/Natural-resources_Ressources-naturelles/major_projects_inventory/major_projects_inventory_fr.kmz Vector data for MapInfoTAB https://ftp.maps.canada.ca/pub/nrcan_rncan/Natural-resources_Ressources-naturelles/major_projects_inventory/MAPINFO_major_projects_inventory_en.zip Vector data for MapInfoTAB https://ftp.maps.canada.ca/pub/nrcan_rncan/Natural-resources_Ressources-naturelles/major_projects_inventory/MAPINFO_major_projects_inventory_fr.zip
