Sharing the benefits of REEF
February 16, 2024
Thank you to Kitselas First Nation for the warm welcome last month at a dinner to celebrate the signing of a Mutual Benefit Agreement (MBA) for the REEF Project.
The MBA demonstrates the power of collaboration, respect, and mutual understanding. It is a framework that ensures Kitselas First Nation will benefit from the REEF project as it is developed.
We are proud of what we have achieved together, and we are excited for what lies ahead. We believe that by working together, we can create a brighter future for all.

Continuing Site Work at REEF
January 31, 2024
At the Ridley Island Energy Export Facility (REEF) site on Ridley Island, site preparation activity is continuing, and we are anticipating burning to occur throughout the month of February. Our preferred method is to use air curtain burners, but open burning is possible. For all activity at REEF, we follow safety plans and collaborate with local first responders and stakeholders. Reach out to us at reefproject@altagas.ca with any questions or feedback.
REEF Project Responsibility Update
January 23, 2024
We are pleased to share that the Environmental Assessment Certificate (EAC) for the REEF Project has been transferred from Vopak Development Canada Inc. to Ridley Island Energy Export Facility GP Inc., on behalf of Ridley Island Energy Export Facility Limited Partnership, effective December 21, 2023.
The order confirms the formal transfer of responsibility for the project.
The Certificate still refers to the Vopak Pacific Canada Project because changing the project’s name to Ridley Island Energy Export Facility (REEF) is being requested in our EAC amendment application. The British Columbia Environmental Assessment Office (EAO) began the review process for the application on November 17, 2023. In addition to the project name change, the application includes proposed updates or clarification to the description for the facility layout and to equipment at the REEF site.

Site Preparation at REEF

We’re happy to share with you that REEF has started site preparation activities after receiving permit authorization from the Prince Rupert Port Authority (PRPA).
PRPA has granted us the permission to start with vegetation removal as a first phase of the development of REEF, with the work to take place on the 190-acre site for REEF, leased to us by PRPA.
For more specifics on the permitting, check out PRPA’s news release: link.
