Woodfibre LNG reaches 65% completion after module arrives
Woodfibre LNG said the arrival of a powerhouse module has taken construction progress to 65% complete, with 16 modules now delivered to the site
Woodfibre LNG said the construction of its export project near Squamish has reached 65% completion following the arrival of a powerhouse module, the 16th module delivered to the site.
The delivery came a week after it received the liquefaction module.
The powerhouse module weighs more than 4,200 tonnes and is intended to support what Woodfibre LNG described as Canada’s first all-electric LNG facility and the world’s first net-zero LNG export facility.
Woodfibre LNG chief executive officer Luke Schauerte said, “The powerhouse module is essential to the operation of our facility. It will support the delivery and distribution of power needed for our electric-driven liquefaction process – an approach that sets Woodfibre LNG apart as the first LNG export facility in North America designed to use renewable electricity for liquefaction.”
The company said the module arrived on 17 March 2026 aboard heavy cargo vessel Dongbang Giant 8.
Inspections were followed by cutting the sea welds, attaching the modules to the deck, and then the modules were prepared for unloading and moved into position using self-propelled modular transporters.
Woodfibre LNG said the project is designed to produce 2.1M tonnes of LNG a year for export and is being built near Squamish on the traditional territory of the Squamish Nation.
The project is owned by Woodfibre LNG Ltd Partnership, which is owned 70% by Pacific Energy Corp (Canada) Ltd and 30% by Enbridge Inc.
The facility is expected to be completed in 2027.
