VANCOUVER — The federal natural resources minister has announced an agreement that will see the Ksi Lisims project in northern British Columbia supply liquefied natural gas to a German utility for up to 20 years.
Tim Hodgson says Securing Energy for Europe, a German-owned energy company, is to buy one million tonnes per year from the floating LNG terminal planned for Pearse Island near the Alaska border, with deliveries expected to begin by the early 2030s.
Ksi Lisims is a partnership between the Nisga’a Nation, Houston-based Western LNG and Rockies LNG, a group of Canadian natural gas producers.
The project has regulatory approval but the partners have yet to make a final investment decision, which would clear the way for construction to begin.
