The National Energy Board of Canada has given the Mackenzie Valley pipeline a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity, allowing the giant project to move forward.

The project calls for a 744-mile natural gas pipeline to be built from the Northwest Territories to Alberta. The proposed system would carry 1.2 billion cubic feet per day from the Beaufort Sea to northwestern Alberta. The project is part of the Mackenzie Gas Project, which includes developing three gas fields, a pipeline gathering system, an additional pipeline within the Northwest Territories.
