NGTL Abandonment Program (2021)
NGTL is proposing to permanently cease operations at 10 meter stations and 11 associated lateral pipelines, four stand-alone meter stations, and two stand-alone laterals on the NGTL System within Alberta because these facilities are no longer necessary to provide service to customers. The CER defines this process as abandonment. As operations will be permanently ceased and service will be discontinued on these facilities, NGTL will file a Section 241(1) application, pursuant to the Canadian Energy Regulator Act, for the facilities. Please view the Abandonment factsheet for more information.
