| Description: |
|
Maritimes & Northeast Pipeline (M&NP) is a joint venture which is majority-owned and operated by Spectra Energy. Built in 1999, this 1400-kilometre transmission pipeline system transports natural gas from developments offshore Nova Scotia to markets in Atlantic Canada and the northeastern United States.
The backbone of the M&NP system is the 30-inch / 24-inch diameter mainline that runs from the Sable Offshore Energy gas plant in Goldboro, through Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Maine, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts. The mainline interconnects with three other major pipelines - Portland Natural Gas Transmission System, Tennessee Gas Transmission, and Algonquin Gas Transmission.
By way of lateral pipelines M&NP serves Canadian markets in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. M&NP’s customers include natural gas producers; large industrial users such as pulp and paper manufacturers, refineries, power generators; and local distribution companies.
Through 2007 and 2008, the M&NP system also tied in two new sources of natural gas supply in New Brunswick – Corridor Resources’ McCully Project and the CanaportTM LNG project.
With an established pipeline system in place, M&NP is well-positioned to respond to growth in both East Coast gas supply and end-use markets in Atlantic Canada and the US Northeast.
We strive to be a good neighbour in the communities in which we operate our pipeline. In Atlantic Canada, we have been recognized as a leader in the area of Corporate-Aboriginal Relations. Since 1998, we have held various agreements that outline our environmental and social commitments to NS and NB First Nations, including financial support for capacity building and maintaining an open door for Aboriginal contracting on our major projects.
