Energy Minister Dix Says North Coast Transmission Line Will Facilitate LNG Project

Yesterday in Prince George, Adrian Dix, British Columbia's energy minister, signed an agreement for BC Hydro to supply up to 600 megawatts to power the proposed Ksi Lisims LNG facility.
Dix said the final investment decision depends on government-built infrastructure like the North Coast Transmission Line, which helps investors see a clear plan.
Construction is slated to start this summer, with the North Coast Transmission Line twinning a 450-kilometre route and adding a 350-kilometre extension, targeting full electrification by 2032.
Such a facility would rank among the largest LNG projects, with sources describing it as the second-largest if it proceeds, and could generate $40 billion in investment.
BC Hydro did not disclose MOU financial details and said Ksi Lisims LNG must pay interconnection costs, while Western LNG, Houston-based subsidiaries will own assets amid Shell and Mitsubishi's $40-billion LNG Canada stake sales.
