Trigon Pacific Terminals has made a Final Investment Decision to build a $750 million open-access LPG export facility in Prince Rupert. The terminal will handle 2.5 million tonnes of liquid petroleum gas annually and is expected to begin exports by late 2029.
The project is backed by equity partners Lax Kw’alaams and Metlakatla First Nations, who say the development reflects a true partnership and will deliver long-term economic benefits to their communities. Alberta’s government is also supporting the initiative, citing the facility’s importance to energy trade and Indigenous economic reconciliation.
Trigon says the facility will ease existing bottlenecks in Canada’s export system, offering new capacity rather than shifting from current facilities. International buyers in Japan, South Korea, and India have already shown strong interest in Canadian LPG.
The project aligns with Ottawa’s national interest criteria, supporting energy resilience, Indigenous advancement, and clean growth. Infrastructure is well underway — with rail access and marine loading facilities in place — and procurement for long-lead components is in motion.
Trigon’s CEO says the company is now calling on the federal government to accelerate permitting for what it calls a shovel-ready project critical to Canada’s role in global energy markets.
