“The project has received mixed support, challenges and experienced delay,” says the statement put out by Lori MacLean, media advisor for the Alton Natural Gas Project. The statement put out this afternoon by the project’s parent company, AltaGas of Calgary, indicates it has given up on the project five years after winning approval from the Nova Scotia Environment Department.
Decommissioning will begin on the two underground salt caverns drilled to store energy delivered by the Maritimes Northeast Pipeline. The company that owns the Alton Natural Gas Storage Project has announced the project is dead.
