The Canadian government has announced that it will add the proposed Ksi Lisims LNG facility to its Major Projects list for fast-tracking (Prime Minister’s statement, 13/11/2025).
- Ksi Lisims is designed with a planned capacity of 12 Mt/year, which would make it Canada’s second-largest LNG export terminal, after the Shell-led LNG Canada project that began operations in early 2025.
- The project referral also covers the 800-km Prince Rupert Gas Transmission pipeline, which would supply feed gas to the terminal, as well as a 95-km power transmission line to deliver electricity to the facility.
- According to the Canadian government, completion of Ksi Lisims could more than double Canada’s LNG production.
The project proponents, Western LNG (Houston), Rockies LNG (a consortium of Canadian gas producers), and the Nisga’a First Nation (landowners of the project site), have not yet taken a final investment decision (FID). Shell and TotalEnergies have already signed 20-year LNG purchase agreements with Ksi Lisims. The developers are now working to finalize additional commercial agreements with LNG buyers before committing to an FID.
In September 2025, the federal government and the Canadian province of British Columbia granted approval for the Ksi Lisims LNG project (KEI, 17/09/2025).
