BC Hydro and Ksi Lisims LNG Sign MOU for North Coast Transmission Line
BC Hydro and Ksi Lisims LNG signed a memorandum of understanding to deliver up to 600 megawatts of clean electricity to the proposed floating LNG facility in Nisga'a Treaty Lands. The Ksi Lisims LNG project is anticipated to attract $30 billion in investment and is required to be net-zero ready by 2030.
The North Coast Transmission Line aims to address electricity demand in B.C.’s North Coast region, with construction starting in summer 2026 and phased completion targeted for 2030. The project is expected to create approximately 9,700 direct full-time jobs and generate nearly $10 billion per year in GDP. Both projects have been designated as nationally significant by the federal government and are expected to enhance Canada’s position as a global LNG exporter.
