This map shows the proposed transmission route which was decided on in 2015 after consultation with the community and First Nations running along the west side of the Squamish River, connecting Cheekye Substation to the Woodfibre LNG site. By following the river corridor, the alignment avoids routing through nearby neighbourhoods.
We chose connecting the Woodfibre LNG facility to the existing 500 kV transmission line adjacent to their site as our leading alternative after hearing feedback from local communities and First Nations, and considering potential economic, social and environmental impacts.

Stage 2 will add the new transmission line constructed within the existing BC Hydro right of way from Cheekye substation through Brackendale to the Woodfibre LNG facility. This approach prevents the need for a new route and minimizes environmental and community impacts.
