Trigon Greenlights $750M LPG Export Terminal in Prince Rupert

Trigon Pacific Terminals has committed $750 million to develop a new open-access liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) export facility in Prince Rupert, British Columbia, expected to begin operations by late 2029 pending regulatory approvals. The terminal will have an annual capacity of 2.5 million metric tons and aims to alleviate current export bottlenecks for Canadian LPG producers, enhancing access to key Asian markets such as Japan, South Korea, and India. The project is a partnership with the Lax Kw’alaams and Metlakatla First Nations, who emphasize Indigenous economic reconciliation and long-term community benefits. Alberta's government supports the facility, recognizing its strategic role in Canada's energy sector and Indigenous partnerships. Trigon’s CEO highlighted the project's readiness with existing rail access and marine loading infrastructure and called on the federal government to expedite permitting, stressing the facility's alignment with national interest criteria including energy resilience and clean growth. This initiative is seen as a crucial step toward bolstering Canada’s position as a competitive energy supplier on the global stage.
