A large LNG export agreement is expected to be announced by the federal government, linking Ksi Lisims LNG in northwestern British Columbia with Germany’s SEFE. B.C. officials indicated the project is focused on expanding global markets and did not confirm the specific parties. A federal energy minister is scheduled to announce details in Vancouver. The Ksi Lisims LNG facility is a priority for British Columbia and is among projects identified for fast-track permitting and approval. The proposed floating facility would export about 12 million metric tonnes per year from a site 80 kilometres north of Prince Rupert in Nisga’a Nation territory. The deal is described as a first between Canada and Europe, with one million metric tonnes per year. The project is developed with the Nisga’a Nation and partners including Rockies LNG Ltd. Partnership and Western LNG, with assets constructed, owned, and operated through Western LNG subsidiaries in Houston.
"“Ksi Lisims has been obviously working to build markets around the world so this is their announcement,” said Dix. “I'm not going to steal their thunder but obviously a diversity of markets, when you're marketing your product around the world, is a good thing.”"
"Federal Energy Minister Tim Hodgson is set to make an announcement Wednesday morning in Vancouver regarding “international energy exports,” with details of the deal expected to be revealed. The Ksi Lisims LNG facility was named a priority by the B.C. government and is among the major projects that Prime Minister Mark Carney said would be reviewed for fast-track permitting and approval."
"According to sources, the deal a first between Canada and Europe is for one million metric tonnes of LNG per year. The proposed $10-billion floating Ksi Lisims LNG facility will have a capacity to export 12 million metric tonnes of LNG per year from its location 80 kilometres north of Prince Rupert in Nisga'a Nation territory."
"Ksi Lisims LNG is being developed in partnership between the Nisga'a Nation, Rockies LNG Ltd. Partnership and Western LNG. Documents show the project's assets will be constructed, owned and operated by wholly owned subsidiaries of Western LNG, based in Houston, Texas."
