British Columbia's $9.4bn PRGT pipeline and Ksi Lisims LNG project face opposition from Indigenous groups, route changes, and environmental concerns.
British Columbia's $9.4bn PRGT pipeline and Ksi Lisims LNG project face potential obstacles similar to the $14.5bn Coastal GasLink pipeline. The projects, expected to produce 12 million tonnes of liquefied natural gas annually, face route changes, legal challenges, and potential environmental and Indigenous activism. While the Nisga'a First Nation is an equal partner in the pipeline, opposition from other First Nations cannot be guaranteed. The original route for the PRGT pipeline conflicted with the Gitanyow Nation, who have expressed concerns about the project crossing their territories and affecting Indigenous sovereignty. Despite some First Nations communities seeing economic benefits from the Coastal GasLink project, challenges lie ahead for the PRGT project, including opposition from Indigenous groups, route changes, and environmental concerns.
