Pembina Pipeline, Haisla Nation Greenlight Cedar LNG Project

(Reuters) — Oil and gas transportation firm Pembina Pipeline said on Tuesday it has reached a positive final investment decision (FID) with partner Haisla Nation on the Cedar LNG project.

The liquefied natural gas (LNG) project, located in the territory of the Haisla Nation, on Canada's West Coast, will have a capacity of 3.3 million tonnes per annum (mtpa).

Pembina, which runs the project jointly with the band government of the indigenous Haisla people, said the total estimated cost of the Cedar LNG project, including interest and transaction costs, is about $4 billion.

Canada's First Nations are buying stakes in Canadian energy projects at an accelerated pace as they seek economic benefits from projects on their land.

Pembina said 60% of the project cost will be funded with asset-level debt financing and 40% through equity contributions from both partners.

The project, forecast to become operational in late 2028, is expected to generate annual run-rate adjusted core profit of $200 million to $260 million.
