The much awaited decision from the Provincial Government on the PRGT Pipeline has come through.
The Environmental Assessment Office has determined that the Prince Rupert Gas Transmission Line Natural Gas Project has substantially started.
This means that the project can go ahead without needing to renew their environmental assessment.
This comes with some controversy as earlier this year, there were calls from both the Skeena Watershed Conservation Coalition and the Gitanyow Hereditary Chiefs for new assessment.
The PRGT project was acquired from TC Energy Corporation by Nisga’a Nation and Western LNG in March 2024, to supply natural gas to the proposed Ksi Lisims LNG facility, a project the EAO is currently assessing.
