The Yellowhead Mainline project: a large gas pipeline in Alberta
This project seeks to expand the capacity and efficiency of the province’s natural gas network , connecting natural gas producers with other markets and providing the energy required by the region’s demands.
ATCO Energy Systems Chief Operating Officer Wayne Stensby says, ” With Alberta’s energy demand on the rise, the Yellowhead Mainline will be instrumental in strengthening our energy infrastructure and improving access to a reliable, clean source of energy .” Additionally, the company has provided safe and affordable energy for more than a century. She is excited about this new milestone that promises to benefit Albertans for decades to come.
Additionally, the project will facilitate the supply of natural gas needed to support more than $20 billion in investment and employment in Alberta, highlighting Path2Zero’s Dow Fort Saskatchewan project as one of the primary beneficiaries.
The capacity and extension of the gas pipeline
The project consists of the installation of approximately 200 kilometers of high-pressure gas pipeline and corresponding control and compression facilities , extending from Peers, Alberta, to northeast of Edmonton.
With an investment expected to exceed $2 billion, the project plans to provide incremental natural gas delivery capacity of approximately 1,000 terajoules per day, and is expected its operation for the last quarter of 2027, with construction to begin in 2026, pending the necessary regulations and approvals.
