📋 Tender Overview
Scope: to build 200 km Yellowhead gas pipeline
ATCO Ltd is planning to build a 200 km natural gas pipeline along the Yellowhead Highway west of Edmonton to support a major net-zero petrochemical project near the Alberta capital.
The 200 km pipeline will support Dow's CAN$8.9 billion Path2Zero petrochemicals project, ATCO said.
The project, announced by ATCO subsidiary Canadian Utilities Limited, will cost more than CAN$2 billion and is slated to begin supplying natural gas by early 2027.
The pipeline will support Michigan-based Dow Inc.’s CAN$8.9 billion Path2Zero petrochemicals project in Fort Saskatchewan, ATCO’s release said.
Overall, the pipeline will create about 2000 jobs and provide gas supply for more than CAN$20 billion in investment and related employment by customers.
Dow’s Path2Zero project is billed as the world’s first net-zero integrated ethylene cracker and derivatives site. The pipeline will also add to Alberta’s natural gas network to help support the province’s growing energy needs.
The pipeline will run between Peers, Alta. and northeast Edmonton. Peers is a hamlet along the Yellowhead Highway, almost perfectly halfway between Jasper and Edmonton.
