Canadian Utilities Ltd., a subsidiary of Calgary-based holding company ATCO Ltd., says it plans to build a new natural gas pipeline in Alberta to supply a massive net-zero petrochemical project being built northeast of Edmonton.
Canadian Utilities says it plans to spend more than $2 billion on the new pipeline, the largest energy infrastructure project ever by ATCO Energy Systems.
Canadian Utilities says the pipeline will supply natural gas to Dow Chemicals’ $9-billion Path2Zero facility, which is being built near Fort Saskatchewan, Alta. and is billed as the world’s first integrated ethylene cracker and derivatives site for net-zero emissions.
The company says the new pipeline will be approximately 200 kilometers long and will run from the hamlet of Peers in west central Alberta to the northeast Edmonton area.
The new pipeline will be called the Yellowhead Main Line and is expected to have the capacity to deliver one billion cubic feet per day of natural gas.
Canadian Utilities says construction on the new pipeline is expected to begin in 2026, and the pipeline should be operational in the fourth quarter of 2027.
