Valhalla North and Berland River Project

The Valhalla North Section is a 48-inch diameter, 33 km pipeline in the Saddle Hills and Grande Prairie No.1 counties in Alberta. The pipeline starts at the existing NGTL Saddle Hills compressor station, approximately 81 km northwest of Grande Prairie, and ties into an existing NGTL valve site, approximately 54 km northwest of Grande Prairie.

The Berland River Compressor Station C3 Unit Addition component is a 30 megawatt electric motor drive unit addition, located adjacent to the existing NGTL Berland River compressor station approximately 83 km northwest of Edson, in M.D. of Greenview No. 16 County.

The Valhalla North and Berland River project is now in-service

Our commitment

Community benefits

The Project delivered well-designed and constructed infrastructure that provides short-term and long-term economic benefits and strengthens the economy on a local, provincial and national level.

• Economic growth — The Project generated $375 million in GDP in Alberta during construction, helping drive economic growth and supporting jobs, local businesses and communities across the province.
• Employment opportunities — At its peak, the Project created 775 jobs across the Grande Prairie and Edson regions, including almost 100 Indigenous employees and contractors.
• Annual revenue to support local services — Project construction generated $2.2 million in provincial tax revenues for each project, helping fund public services such as healthcare, education and transportation infrastructure across Alberta. Now that the Project is operational, Valhalla North will contribute approximately $430,000 per year in local property taxes between Grande Prairie county and Saddle Hills county, and Berland River will contribute approximately $840,000 per year to the MD of Greenview No. 16.
• Investments in local communities — Over the course of the Project, we invested over $447,000 in local and Indigenous communities.

Working with Indigenous groups

We welcomed input and support from Indigenous groups to identify specific concerns, environmental sensitivities and culturally important areas along potential route options. We provided opportunities to Indigenous groups to provide feedback throughout engagement and during the regulatory process. Learn more about how we work with Indigenous groups.
