Trigon gives green light to LPG export facility in Prince Rupert
Trigon Pacific Terminals is giving a green light to a new $750-million liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) export facility in Prince Rupert.
PRINCE RUPERT, B.C. — Trigon Pacific Terminals is giving a green light to a new $750-million liquefied petroleum gas export facility in Prince Rupert, B.C.
Trigon chief executive Rob Booker says the company now needs the federal government to expedite the shovel-ready project that he says is in the national interest.
Subject to all necessary legal and regulatory approvals, Trigon says the facility is expected to start exports in late 2029.
It will have an annual capacity of 2.5 million tonnes per year.
The company says the final investment decision comes with support from the Lax Kw’alaams and Metlakatla First Nations.
Trigon already operates a multi-commodity bulk export terminal at the Port of Prince Rupert.
