The Haisla Nation has reached a milestone with a vote to approve the partnership agreement for the Cedar LNG project.
The vote took place on October 30 and was with Pacific Traverse Energy (PTE), a Vancouver based energy infrastructure development company and Delfin Midstream, an LNG export development company specializing in low-cost floating LNG technology, with offices in Houston, TX and Oslo, Norway.
Council’s decision on the project advances this unprecedented opportunity both for the Nation and for the region.
Chief Councillor Crystal Smith says in a press release, “Council has been ensuring that Haisla members are given an opportunity for success, and that our community continues to grow and prosper.”
Cedar LNG will be a floating natural gas liquefaction facility and is aiming to be the first majority Indigenous-owned LNG export facility in Canada, with its majority stake owned by the Haisla Nation. The Cedar LNG Project has started the environmental assessment process and is subject to both a provincial environmental assessment and a federal impact assessment.
