Background
The proposed pipeline would be operated by Enbridge, and owned by Enbridge and BG Group.[2] The pipeline would have brought natural gas to the proposed Prince Rupert LNG Terminal.[5] The Prince Rupert LNG facility was canceled in March 2016.[6] The Westcoast Connector project revived its plans in hopes of supplying the Ksi Lisims FLNG Terminal. In March 2024, the LNG facility announced it was partnering with the PRGT project, leaving the Westcoast Connector with no obvious endpoint. Enbridge allowed the project's environmental certificate to expire in November 2024, and officially announced the cancellation of the project in December 2024.[1]
