A project description filed by JX LNG Canada which is affiliated with a Chinese energy company for their Summit Lake PG LNG Project provides a look at what the Calgary based resource company has planned for northern BC and how it will use the Prince Rupert gateway to Asia for its marketing goals.
For those familiar with the Prince George area, the land to be developed is in the Hart North Industrial site north of the city, the prospectus noting of a two phase approach towards its development.
Commercial operations for Phase 1 are expected to commence in 2028. As part of the Project, an approximately 2-kilometre pipeline to deliver natural gas to the facility from the existing Enbridge Westcoast Pipeline main transmission will be built, as well as an approximately 6-kilomter powerline to connect the Project to British Columbia Hydro and Power Authority (BC Hydro) green power at the Salmon Valley substation.
Phase one of the project if approved, would see construction start in the first quarter of 2026, with operations to commence in 2029, lasting through to 2057. The facility would close and be decommissioned by 2058.
For Prince Rupert the main impact would be the shipment of product by rail along the CN line into the Port of Prince Rupert RILEP facility which is still to be developed.
From that storage area the specialized container units would then be moved to the Fairview Container port for shipment.
The BC Government Environmental Assessment page for the project is available for review here.
