Part of situation: North America LNG export expansion (15 clusters)

British Columbia approves $2 billion Tilbury LNG expansion, bypassing utilities commission

Tilbury LNG British Columbia Utilities Commission Adrian Dix Musqueam Indian Band

British Columbia’s Energy and Climate Solutions Minister Adrian Dix signed an order‑in‑council on July 24, 2026 that exempts FortisBC’s Tilbury liquefied natural gas (LNG) facility in Delta from the normal requirement to obtain a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity from the B.C. Utilities Commission for its Phase 1B expansion. The $2 billion project will add storage and liquefaction capacity, create about 1,100 construction jobs and generate $260 million in tax revenue, while the government says it will reduce emissions by replacing diesel‑fueled marine fuels.

The exemption has drawn criticism from opposition members and the B.C. Greens, who argue it circumvents independent oversight and puts taxpayers at risk. The deal also includes an equity stake for the Musqueam Indian Band. Phase 2 storage has already been approved, while the liquefaction portion remains pending further regulatory clearance. "This project has been significantly reviewed," Dix said.
