People had difficulty accessing the bio-physical and socio-economic regional data collected by the Canada Energy Regulator. The previous solution had many barriers making it a cumbersome task to pull data from. BERDI was developed to make it easier for people to access the vast amount of information. 

Every year, the government releases a report that highlights 30 years of predictions about the future direction of Canada's energy sector. Unfortunately, a report isn't as engaging to people as something interactive. The data visualization, Exploring Canada's Energy Future, is the solution to making energy information more engaging to Canadians.
