FortisBC`s Tilbury LNG plant was Canada`s first LNG plant and has been providing safe and reliable LNG since 1971.
Originally built to provide power during high winter demand, Tilbury now also supplies LNG for the shipping industry and small-scale exports via ISO containers. As demand for LNG as a marine fuel increases, the company is also partnering with the Vancouver Fraser Port Authority to develop the first ship-to-ship LNG refuelling service on North America`s west coast. [8] This plant can hold up to 74,000 cubic metres of LNG and is also the first in Canada to produce LNG for export overseas.

We`re here for you. Please add a valid email address in the format “[email protected]”. FortisBC also plans to expand its Tilbury facility to meet growing LNG demand in the future. The proposed Phase 2 of the Tilbury LNG Expansion Project would improve the resilience of the gas system and ensure that it has the natural gas supply needed to meet the needs of its customers during periods of high demand.
It would also help the company advance LNG as a marine fuel or meet demand from foreign customers. The proposed project includes the construction of a new storage tank that can hold up to 162,000 cubic metres of LNG, which could triple Tilbury`s current storage capacity, as well as a new liquefaction plant with a capacity of 3.5 million tonnes per year to produce LNG for domestic use, refuelling or overseas export. FortisBC is a Canadian-owned regulated utility in British Columbia focused on providing safe and reliable energy, including natural gas, renewable natural gas, electricity and propane. FortisBC employs approximately 2,600 people serving more than 1.2 million customers in 135 communities in British Columbia and 58 First Nation communities in 150 traditional territories. [1] FortisBC has been supplying LNG to organizations such as BC Ferries and Seaspan Ferries for years to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions and fuel costs. Given the advantages of LNG over conventional marine fuel, there is an opportunity to create a global LNG refuelling centre in the Port of Vancouver. The practice of bunkering a ship is known as bunkering, and FortisBC has developed an innovative method of LNG bunkering that involves refueling custom tankers directly on board a ship. The company developed this exclusive design in collaboration with BC Ferries, Seaspan Ferries and their shipbuilders. Lower Bonnington Dam consists of a generating station behind an entrance dam on the right bank of the Kootenay River and a concrete gravity structure approximately 18 metres high. The original dam, built in 1897, consisted of a rock-filled wooden dam spanning the river upstream from the falls at this location. [6] In 1924, the dam was demolished and replaced by a new, larger facility comprising three units, bringing the total generating capacity to 54 MW. It was then rebuilt in 1964.
[7] Lower Bonnington Dam is located on the Kootenay River approximately 18 km southwest of Nelson, British Columbia. FortisBC has four hydroelectric generating stations on the Kootenay River with a total capacity of 225 megawatts (MW). These are the Corra Linn, Upper Bonnington, Lower Bonnington and South Slocan plants. FortisBC also operates and maintains five other-owned power plants with a total generating capacity of 1,322 MW: FortisBC is a leader in local and global LNG exports to support the growth of LNG as a cleaner fuel to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the marine sector. We have been supplying LNG fuel for ferries for years. This is one of the most sensible things we can do to reduce greenhouse gas emissions here in British Columbia and beyond our borders. Monic Pratch, Vice-President, General Counsel, Corporate Secretary and Sustainable Transportation, is responsible for the largest GHG emissions footprint in British Columbia at approximately 41%.2 We continue to increase the supply of compressed natural gas (CNG), liquefied natural gas (LNG) and RNG, while providing incentives for fleet operators to reduce vehicle emissions. Over the years, we have supported more than 1,000 medium and heavy commercial vehicles to run on CNG or LNG.
In the Okanagan and Kootenays, we are expanding our network of electric vehicle charging stations to make it easier to own and operate an electric vehicle.

We provide safe, reliable and cost-effective natural gas, electricity and renewable natural gas to our customers across the province. Our more than 2,600 employees are proud to serve approximately 1.2 million customers in 135 communities in British Columbia and 58 First Nation communities in 150 traditional territories. In June 2011, FortisBC launched the RNG program for customers in the Lower Mainland, Fraser Valley, Interior and Kootenays. FortisBC residential, commercial and industrial customers can join the program and set a fixed percentage of up to 100% of their natural gas consumption in the form of RNG.
FortisBC acquires appropriate quantities of RNG to meet the demand of RNG suppliers for its distribution system.
