On September 3, 2020, the Canada Energy Regulator (CER) published its Recommendation Report on the proposed NOVA Gas Transmission Ltd. (NGTL) North Corridor Expansion project. The CER recommended the project be approved with 34 conditions.
The project seeks to construct and operate approximately 81 km of looped pipeline, in three different sections, with associated facilities in northwestern Alberta. An expanded NGTL system will transport gas within Alberta from the Peace River Project Area to growing intra-basin markets located in the North of Bens Area.
Following the CER’s recommendation report, the Government of Canada had a legislated time line of three months to issue a decision on the project, on or before December 3. On November 26, the Government of Canada approved a five-month extension to complete its consultations with Indigenous groups. The Minister may be asked to comment on the delay.
