The National Energy Board says it needs more information before proceeding with a review of Kinder Morgan Canada’s Trans Mountain pipeline expansion. The board says in a news release that it is going to implement an “excluded period” for the review, beginning last week and lasting until Jan. 8, 2016.
Its recommendations were to have been handed down on Jan. 26 but the delay means a new deadline of May 20 next year. The board did not specify what additional information it was seeking.
The NEB notes it is the second excluded period for the Trans Mountain project – the first came from July 2014 to early February this year to allow the company to file additional studies related to a new preferred corridor through Burnaby Mountain.
