The Tsawwassen First Nation has announced a proposal to build a liquefied natural gas export terminal at Roberts Bank in partnership with FortisBC.

At 3-5 million tonnes of LNG per year, the proposed facility would be about one-quarter the size of the $11 billion Pacific Northwest LNG plant Petronas plans to build in Prince Rupert, but about twice the size of the smaller $1.7 billion 2-tonne per annum Woodfibre LNG plant proposed for Squamish.
