Tilbury LNG Expansion Clears Environmental Hurdle with Federal Approval

FortisBC has cleared a significant hurdle in its plans to expand the Tilbury LNG facility near Vancouver, Canada. The utility company has secured federal and provincial environmental approvals for the project, paving the way for additional storage and liquefaction capacity. This expansion could add 2.5 million tonnes of liquefied natural gas (LNG) per year.

The approval marks a key regulatory milestone for FortisBC's Tilbury Phase 2 LNG expansion project. The company had been seeking environmental clearance for the project, which is expected to create new opportunities for Canadian LNG exports.
