$10 billion Nisga’a-led LNG project gets green light to enter environmental review

The Nisga’a-led $10-billion Ksi Lisims LNG project has been given the greenlight to enter the province’s environmental review process.

The decision on the export facility in northwest B.C. was announced by the B.C. Environmental Assessment Office last week, just days after the B.C. government gave final approval to the $2.4-billion Haisla Nation’s Cedar LNG project.

The Nisga’a’s project partners include a consortium of Canadian gas producers, Rockies LNG, and Houston, Tex.-based Western LNG.
