Canada’s approval of Enbridge’s C$4 billion Sunrise Expansion gives the Westcoast natural gas system a clearer role in British Columbia’s LNG growth story. Reuters reported that the project is designed to add about 300 MMcf/d of capacity to the Westcoast system, with construction scheduled to begin in July 2026 and targeted in-service in late 2028.
That is why this map focuses on Enbridge’s Westcoast corridor rather than a broad western Canada gas map. It shows the Westcoast natural gas transmission system in British Columbia, Enbridge-owned compressor stations and gas processing plants, the Montney supply region, and Woodfibre LNG for downstream LNG export context.
The map follows the source logic: rising British Columbia gas demand, including LNG demand, is driving expansion along an existing gas corridor. Reuters notes that Woodfibre LNG is under construction on the Pacific coast and that Enbridge owns a 30% stake in the project.
It also avoids over-mapping the project. The article says the expansion will include new pipeline segments along the existing system, additional compression, and facility upgrades, but it does not provide a single exact new route to draw separately.
Why it matters
-
The Sunrise Expansion adds a specific capacity story to BC’s LNG-linked gas infrastructure buildout.
-
The map shows the operating system behind that story: Westcoast pipelines, Enbridge-owned compressor stations, Enbridge-owned gas processing plants, Montney supply context, and Woodfibre LNG.
-
The project connects northeast British Columbia gas supply with rising LNG demand on the Pacific Coast.
-
The approval also matters as a signal of Canada’s effort to speed up major resource project approvals.
