TC Energy has cancelled a substantial pipeline that would have brought jobs to the region and more natural gas to Medicine Hat for a power plant expansion, but the city utility department says an alternative deal to supply gas for the new unit is in place.
The Nova Gas Medicine Hat Looping Project would have seen 65 kilometres of 24-inch pipe laid between the city’s north end and areas nearer to the TC Energy Mainline at Empress.
Scheduled to be built by 2023, it was to deliver additional gas on a 15-year contract with the city to fire a second turbine at the municipality’s expanding north-end power plant.
