TransCanada proposes to extend Alberta System
TransCanada said it proposes to extend the Alberta System in Northeast B.C. to connect to both the recently announced Prince Rupert Gas Transmission Project and to incremental North Montney gas supply. This new infrastructure would allow the Pacific Northwest LNG facility to access both the abundant North Montney natural gas supply and other Western Canada Sedimentary Basin supply through the Alberta System, the company said. Initial capital cost estimates are $1B-$1.5B, with an in service date of late 2015 targeted for a large portion of this infrastructure.
