Our contractor has resumed tunnelling at the BC Rail site on the Eagle Mountain – Woodfibre Gas Pipeline Project in Squamish.During a pause in tunnelling, our contractor made ground improvements to allow crews to safely enter the front of the tunnel boring machine to complete required inspections. These inspections have been completed and tunnelling work has resumed.Throughout the pause in tunnelling, we worked closely with our regulators, including Sḵwx̱wú7mesh Úxwumixw (Squamish Nation). We will continue working with our regulators to uphold the conditions of the project.

Construction continues to advance in Coquitlam on the Eagle Mountain – Woodfibre Gas Pipeline Project. Since starting construction in Coquitlam earlier this year, we’ve:installed more than two of the required three kilometres of new gas pipeline northwest of Westwood Plateau;levelled a portion of ground within the existing footprint of our Eagle Mountain Compressor Station that will enable the installation of two new electric-powered compressor units; andcompleted the majority of brush and tree clearing to create space for the new electric substation in Eagle Mountain Park and 950 metres of new powerlines to connect back to and power the new electric compressor units once installed.We anticipate finishing installation of the new gas pipeline in early 2025 . Construction of the new electric substation and powerlines is expected to begin in the spring, and we anticipate starting installation of the two new electric compressor units by fall 2025.

FortisBC has filed an Environmental Assessment (EA) Application with the B.C. Environmental Assessment Office (BC EAO) for Tilbury Phase 2 LNG Expansion Project. Located within the existing Tilbury LNG facility footprint and on the lands, waters, and territories of Indigenous rights holders, the project serves two key purposes:To ensure that our current Lower Mainland customers and anticipated population growth continue to have reliable energy with the construction of a new LNG storage tank and,To serve emerging markets for LNG as a lower-carbon fuel such as for marine fueling with the construction of additional liquefaction capacity. Tilbury already produces LNG that is among the lowest carbon-intensity in the world and in accordance with Provincial regulations, the Project will be net-zero once in operation.In 2022, the Musqueam Indian Band (xʷməθkʷəy̓əm) and FortisBC signed an agreement, that has both parties working in close collaboration with the shared goal of developing a world-leading LNG facility.The Tilbury Phase 2 LNG Expansion Project has entered a 180-day Review period led by the B.C., EAO. During this time, there is a 45-day public comment period where the public is invited to learn more about the project and participate in both in-person and virtual information sessions.  For details on how to participate in the environmental assessment process, visit the BC EAO website.
