Transmission and Distribution
Maritimes and Northeast Pipeline (M&NP) is a 1,101 km mainline transmission pipeline built to transport natural gas from developments offshore Nova Scotia to markets in Atlantic Canada and the northeastern United States.
Heritage Gas Limited is a Nova Scotia-based company formed for the purpose of operating a full regulation class natural gas distribution franchise in Nova Scotia. As of fall 2012, Heritage Gas was supplying natural gas for heat to approximately 18,000 families and 2,000 businesses. The customer base is growing at an annual rate of about 20 per cent.
Compressed Natural Gas for Industry: Large energy users that are not on a pipeline can still access the energy savings of natural gas by having it trucked to them. In July 2012, the province accepted a report that said delivery to customers without pipeline access should be treated the same as fuel oil and propane delivery. Currently, Heritage Natural Gas and Irving Energy are trucking natural gas, and other suppliers are coming. Read the press release here.
