Canadian Utilities plans C$2 billion Alberta natural gas pipeline

The company, majority-owned by ATCO, said the Yellowhead Mainline project would include 200 kilometers (124 miles) of pipeline and related control and compression facilities that will run from Peers, Alberta, to Edmonton. Development of the pipeline comes as demand for gas grows from Alberta's industrial expansion and population growth as well as from offshore buyers as Canada's first liquefied natural gas export terminal comes online next year. "Both of those stories are very important as we think about the growth of not only Alberta's economy but Canada's economy," ATCO Energy Systems Chief Operating Officer Wayne Stensby said in an interview.
