Pacific Northern Gas Ltd., a subsidiary of AltaGas Ltd., owns and operates natural gas transmission and distribution systems. The Company's western transmission line extends from the Spectra Energy gas transmission system north of Prince George to Kitimat and Prince Rupert, and provides services to twelve communities and a number of industrial facilities. In the northeast, Pacific Northern Gas (N.E.) Ltd. provides gas distribution service in the Dawson Creek, Fort St. John and Tumbler Ridge areas.
Pacific Northern Gas (PNG) is proposing to construct and operate a new natural gas pipeline adjacent to its existing mainline gas transmission pipeline between Summit Lake and Kitimat (known as looping) to increase the delivery of natural gas to Kitimat in order to serve new small scale Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) export facilities.
