Provincial ministers approved the export facility—planned for development on the northern B.C. coast near Alaska—with 23 conditions. (The Logic)

Talking point: Carney’s government has made LNG development a key focus in its efforts to expand Canada’s export capacity, and Ottawa last week designated LNG Canada’s planned Phase 2 expansion as a project that is in the national interest. That project—Canada’s first LNG export facility—came online this summer. Monday’s news removes the last major hurdle for Ksi Lisims, Canada’s next LNG megaproject. Ksi Lisims is planned for development alongside the local Nisga’a Nation, which will take a 50 per cent stake in the pipeline feeding the coastal liquefaction facility. Houston-based Western LNG leads the development, and a consortium of 12 Canadian producers will ship an estimated 12 million tonnes of liquified gas per year. It is expected to begin operations around 2030.
