TC Energy said that decision satisfied conditions attached to its earlier conditional final investment decision for the pipeline project. The existing line transports about 2.1 billion cubic feet of natural gas a day. Phase 2 is intended to nearly double that capacity through new compressor stations and upgrades to existing facilities. It would use the existing 670-kilometre route from Dawson Creek to the LNG Canada liquefaction plant at Kitimat; the announcement says no additional pipeline is planned.","The proposed delivery structure assigns construction leadership to LNG Canada. Under commercial agreements announced earlier, LNG Canada would act as Phase 2 execution manager, while CGL would remain owner, operator and permit holder for the pipeline and associated facilities. CGL and TC Energy would contribute technical advice, procurement services and operating expertise. TC Energy says this model limits CGL's capital commitments and exposure to construction-cost and schedule risks. Actual costs and timing will still depend on execution, procurement, permits and site conditions; the announcement does not establish a completed project or guarantee a final cost.","The company expects construction to start in early 2027 and the expanded system to enter service in the early 2030s. It estimates that up to 2,100 people could be employed across five sites during peak construction. That is a company forecast, not a count of jobs already created. TC Energy also expects the work to produce long-term employment, contracting, training and skills-development opportunities. The company says earlier construction of the original CGL pipeline generated about 25,700 full-time-equivalent jobs in British Columbia.
