Winter 2024 Newsletter

2024 has been a defining year for the Cedar LNG Project. Together with our employees, partners and supporters, we have laid a strong foundation for success. Read about all that took place this year – from a positive Final Investment Decision, to construction starting and engagement with the community – in our Winter 2024 newsletter.


Cedar LNG provides project update; invites you to an open house

On June 25, 2024, the Haisla Nation made history alongside their partner Pembina Pipeline Corporation, when a positive final investment decision (FID) was declared for the world’s first Indigenous majority-owned LNG facility.

With a positive FID, construction commenced in early July 2024. This year, construction focused on the marine terminal area, as well as the commencement of clearing activities along the pipeline route, to prepare for a full construction season in 2025 (see photo – site progress as of November 2024). In addition to site clearing and preparation work, important environmental management measures have been implemented onsite, including sediment and erosion control measures.

The Cedar LNG Project will be hosting an Open House on December 10 in Kitimat to share updated project information – project schedule, regulatory update, employment & training, and more – with the community. Details are available here.

With peak construction anticipated in 2026, we are committed to keeping the community informed about construction activities and timing, and related opportunities. You can sign up to receive updates, and follow us on Facebook for the most current information about project activities.

Tuesday, June 25, 2024 – KITAMAAT VILLAGE, British Columbia – The Haisla Nation and Pembina Pipeline Corporation (“Pembina”) (TSX: PPL; NYSE: PBA), partners in Cedar LNG Partners LP (“Cedar LNG”), today announced a positive Final Investment Decision (“FID”) on the Cedar LNG Project, a floating liquefied natural gas (“LNG”) (“FLNG”) facility with a nameplate capacity of 3.3 million tonnes per annum (“mtpa”), located in the traditional territory of the Haisla Nation, on Canada’s West Coast (the “Project”).

The Project is strategically positioned to leverage Canada’s abundant natural gas supply and deliver a lower-carbon energy option to global markets. The facility will be powered by renewable electricity from BC Hydro, making it one of the lowest emitting LNG facilities in the world.

“Today, the Haisla Nation, with our partner Pembina, have made history as the world’s first Indigenous community to develop an LNG facility as majority owners,” said Crystal Smith, Chief Councillor of the Haisla Nation. “Because of our Nation’s determination and environmental leadership, Cedar LNG will make the most significant mark on economic reconciliation ever in our country. With Cedar LNG, we have proven that Indigenous communities can successfully forge a path to economic independence and generational prosperity. We have created a model for how sustainable energy development should be done, with Indigenous Nations as owners, balancing environmental interests with global demand for cleaner energy.”

Additional comments from Chief Councillor Smith, and other Haisla Nation members, are offered in a short video about this historic announcement, which can be accessed here.

“Together with our partner, the Haisla Nation, we are honoured to have made Cedar LNG a reality. This is a historic moment, and we are proud to be moving forward with a project that will deliver industry-leading, low-carbon, cost-competitive Canadian LNG to overseas markets and contribute to global energy security, while delivering jobs and economic prosperity to the local region,” said Scott Burrows, Pembina’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “Cedar LNG aligns perfectly with our strategy and where we want to be as a company moving forward. The Cedar LNG Project will enhance the resiliency of Pembina’s business, provide much needed new egress and greater access to global markets for our customers, and reflects the Haisla Nation and Pembina’s shared values and commitment to supporting a more sustainable future.”

“As a result of the Haisla Nation’s vision and determination, today we are demonstrating Canada’s ability to sustainably grow its LNG export sector to support the global clean energy transition,” said Doug Arnell, Chief Executive Officer of Cedar LNG. “Moreover, the Haisla Nation and Pembina, as true partners, are demonstrating a new model for how industry and Indigenous communities can work together for mutual benefit.”

The Right Honourable Justin Trudeau, Prime Minister of Canada offered his congratulations in a video statement, which can be accessed here.

The Honourable David Eby, Premier of British Columbia said, “This decision shows not only the perseverance of the Haisla Nation in achieving this historic milestone, but also confidence of investors in B.C.’s economy, and how the future for the natural resources sector is bright and will continue to support B.C.’s strong economic performance, which has led Canada’s large provinces in GDP growth since 2017.” Premier Eby added, “Cedar LNG is a shining example of how natural resource development should work in our province—in full partnership with First Nations and with the lowest emissions possible. By working together, we can build a stronger and cleaner economy that creates opportunities and benefits for all.” Premier Eby’s video statement can be accessed here.

Cedar LNG Financing Update

The Project is expected to be funded with asset-level debt financing for approximately 60 percent of the Project cost. Cedar LNG has secured a construction term loan with a syndicate of banks.

The remaining approximately 40 percent of the costs of the Project are expected to be financed through equity contributions from both partners. The Haisla Nation have obtained committed capital through the First Nations Finance Authority to fund their 20 percent equity contribution to the Project. Pembina continues to anticipate its equity contribution will be funded from cash flow from operating activities. Pembina expects no material change to its 2024 Cedar LNG equity contributions disclosed previously, with no incremental post-FID contributions in 2024 anticipated.

Prior to FID, Pembina was required to provide financial assurances to advance Project-related upstream infrastructure projects. Following the positive FID, the required financial assurances will be transferred to Cedar LNG. Cedar LNG has secured a letter of credit facility for the ongoing funding of the required financial assurances.

Cedar LNG received strong support from domestic and international capital providers reflecting the positive merits of the Project.

Comments from Cedar LNG Supporters

Cedar LNG’s positive FID builds on years of collaboration, including strong support from neighbouring Indigenous communities, the District of Kitimat, provincial, and federal governments, industry, and many others.

ARC Resources

“Congratulations to the Haisla Nation and Pembina Pipeline on achieving this significant milestone. We are proud to partner with Cedar LNG on a project that advances Indigenous economic reconciliation and delivers tremendous economic benefits to communities and Canadians more broadly,” said Terry Anderson, President and Chief Executive Officer, ARC Resources Ltd. “The demand for cost-competitive natural gas from key consuming nations around the world is evident. We look forward to delivering low-cost Canadian LNG to global markets with partners who share our commitment to responsible energy development and innovation.”

Cedar LNG Backgrounder

Overview

  • Cedar LNG is majority-owned by the Haisla Nation, in partnership with Pembina Pipeline Corporation, with 50.1% and 49.9% ownership, respectively.
  • The Project is strategically positioned to leverage Canada’s abundant natural gas supply from the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin to access global markets and is expected to achieve higher prices for Canadian producers and enhance global energy security.
  • Cedar LNG made several innovative design decisions to minimize the Project’s environmental footprint and ensure it is one of the lowest-emitting LNG facilities in the world. One of the most important decisions was to power the facility with renewable electricity from BC Hydro. In addition, the choice of site location allows the Project to leverage existing LNG infrastructure, including the Coastal GasLink pipeline, a deep-water port, roads, and other infrastructure.
  • Under a long-term transportation agreement with Coastal GasLink Pipeline Limited Partnership, the Cedar LNG facility will receive 400 million cubic feet per day of Canadian natural gas via the Coastal GasLink pipeline.
  • The Project’s West Coast location provides one of the shortest shipping routes to key Asian markets. The Douglas Channel, leading to and from the site, offers an established, reliable shipping route and deepwater marine inlet, with year-round ice-free conditions.
  • The Project has a total estimated cost of approximately US$4.0 billion (gross), including estimated capital costs of approximately US$3.4 billion (gross), of which US$2.3 billion (gross), or approximately 70 percent, is under a fixed-price, lump-sum agreement, and US$0.6 billion (gross) of interest during construction and transaction costs.
  • The FLNG facility is being designed and constructed by Samsung Heavy Industries and Black & Veatch, global industry leaders in marine construction and FLNG solutions. As the engineering, procurement and construction contractors, they bring extensive qualifications and deep experience to the Project.
  • Given the Project will be a floating LNG facility, manufactured in the controlled conditions of a shipyard, it is expected that the Project will have lower construction and execution risk.
  • The Project is anticipated to be in service in late 2028.

Commercial agreements

  • Cedar LNG has secured 20-year take-or-pay liquefaction tolling services agreements with ARC Resources Ltd. and Pembina for 1.5 mtpa each. Commercial discussions are continuing with multiple other prospective customers as Pembina intends to assign its contracted capacity to a third-party.

Significant benefits for Indigenous and local communities

  • Critical to Cedar LNG’s success to date has been the strong support of neighbouring Nations. Cedar LNG is committed to sharing value with Indigenous and local communities in the region through construction jobs and contracting, training opportunities, long-term employment, and other measures that will contribute to economic prosperity in the region. The Project is expected to create up to 500 jobs during peak construction and approximately 100 full-time jobs during operation.

April 4, 2024 – Cedar LNG today announced that it has issued a Notice to Proceed (NTP) to the engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) contractors following the finalization of long-term commercial offtake agreements. These critical milestones allow the project to proceed to secure financing, which is required prior to making a final investment decision (FID), expected by the middle of 2024.

“Today’s achievements mark an exciting time for our Nation as we seek to make Cedar LNG – the world’s lowest carbon and first Indigenous majority-owned LNG Facility – a reality in the coming months,” said Crystal Smith, Chief Councillor for Haisla Nation. “I am incredibly grateful to our Nation, all levels of government, Pembina and all our partners who have supported our journey to advance a project that protects our environmental and cultural values, while delivering prosperity for decades to come.”

“We are on-track to deliver an Indigenous majority owned, best-in-class LNG facility – one that will benefit the Haisla Nation, Pembina and its customers, the region, and all of Canada, while meaningfully contributing to the transition to a lower-carbon economy,” said Scott Burrows, Pembina’s President and Chief Executive Officer.

The issuance of today’s NTP directs our EPC Contractor, Samsung Heavy Industries and Black & Veatch, to finalize engineering and design for, and commence construction of, Cedar LNG’s state-of-the-art floating LNG facility (FLNG). Subject to a FID, once complete, the FLNG unit will be transported from Korea to the Cedar LNG site in Haisla traditional territory in the Douglas Channel, signaling a step change for the LNG industry and Indigenous people everywhere.

With major development milestones achieved, Cedar LNG is preparing for construction, with pre-FID early works commencing in May 2024, including tree clearing and rough grading activities at our proposed marine terminal near Kitimat.

The Project is continuing to progress towards a FID by the middle of 2024, with an anticipated in-service date in late 2028. Further details are provided below.

Commercial Offtake Secured

A 20-year take-or-pay fixed toll contract has been signed with ARC Resources Ltd. (“ARC”) for 1.5 million tonnes per annum (“mtpa”). As part of the agreement, ARC will supply Cedar LNG with approximately 200 million cubic feet per day of sustainable, Canadian natural gas for liquefaction at the environmental leading Cedar LNG facility. Having ARC participate in Cedar LNG is a testament to the value proposition this Project has on a global scale.

Pembina has executed an identical bridging agreement with Cedar LNG for 1.5 mpta of capacity. Commercial offtake discussions are continuing with multiple other customers as Pembina intends to assign its capacity to a third-party following a positive FID.
