Trigon Gives Green Light to LPG Export Facility in Prince Rupert, B.C.
- The British Columbia government confirmed on June 5, 2024, that construction substantially started on the 900-kilometre Prince Rupert Gas Transmission pipeline project to supply the Ksi Lisims LNG facility.
- The project builds upon the pipeline’s initial approval in 2014 under TC Energy and its acquisition in March 2024 by a joint venture involving the Nisga'a Nation and Western LNG, accompanied by an updated proposal for the LNG export terminal.
- Premier David Eby defended the Indigenous-led Ksi Lisims LNG project from Seoul during a 10-day trade mission, emphasizing its economic benefits and the Nisga’a Nation’s treaty jurisdiction.
- The pipeline is planned to transport 2 billion cubic feet of gas daily to support a floating LNG terminal expected to generate around 12 million tonnes annually, although the initiative faces resistance from environmental groups.
- The government's ruling preserved the pipeline permit through work starting by late 2024, signaling progress toward economic diversification and energy export independence despite ongoing disputes.
