Spectra Energy’s proposed Westcoast Connector Gas Transmission Project received an Environmental Assessment Certificate (EAC) from the British Columbian government, the company said in a statement. The environmental review assessed a gas transportation corridor that could accommodate up to two 48-inch pipelines with total design capacity of 8.4 billion cubic feet per day.

The next stage of outreach will involve collecting input to meeting the project’s EAC conditions, developing an inclusive labor strategy, preparing for the permitting process and planning to support community readiness. Spectra Energy will continue to advance its discussions with potential partners to secure customers for the multi-pipeline corridor.
