The North American Energy Working Group (NAEWG) was announced at the April 2001 Summit of the Americas by the Canadian, Mexican and United States heads of state. Natural Resources Canada, the Mexican Secretariat of Energy and the U.S. Department of Energy jointly chair the Working Group.

Background

On March 8, 2001, the Energy Ministers from Canada, Mexico, and the United States—Ralph Goodale (Canada), Ernesto Martens (Mexico), and Spencer Abraham (United States)—formally committed to work more collaboratively on North America's energy issues. To achieve this goal, the three cabinet-level officials agreed to establish a group of national representatives that would focus specifically on the region, the North America Energy Working Group (NAEWG).
