London Lines Replacement Project (LLRP)

Project updates

Construction on the main pipeline was completed in 2022, however there are additional activities in the area that required completion by Enbridge Gas after construction was completed. The new line is now active, and we anticipate we will be able to finalize all remaining activities by the end of 2024.

Project calendar

Indigenous and community engagement

For construction projects, the collective input from government agencies, municipalities, stakeholders, Indigenous communities and Métis, the public and landowners play an integral role in the route and site selection process.

Prior to construction, public input is obtained to ensure that the community is advised of the proposed project, and to involve the public in the decision-making process. Public consultation is a key component of the Environmental Report.

The consultation program helps identify and address stakeholder concerns and issues and provides the public with an opportunity to receive information about the Project and participate in Project development process.

Public input from the April Virtual Open House will be used to help finalize the project and develop mitigation plans to be implemented during construction.

Once the Leave-to-Construct (LTC) application is made to the OEB, any party with an interest in the Project, including members of the public, can participate in the process.

Public Notification

Newspaper Advertisements

The Notice of Study Commencement and Virtual Public Open House for the London Lines Replacement Project were published within The Herald and The Strathroy-Middlesex Age Dispatch on April 8^th and 9^th, and April 15^th and 16^th respectively.

Virtual Open House

Public consultation with Indigenous communities, landowners, government agencies, current customers serviced by the London Lines, the general public, as well as other interested persons are an integral component of the planning process. In Spring 2020, we held a Virtual Open House for a 12-day period to give all stakeholders an overview of the LLRP, and the opportunity to ask any questions or raise any matters with the project team. If you were unable to attend any of the information sessions, please go here to view the presentation boards.

Regulatory information

The London Lines Replacement Project is regulated by the Ontario Energy Board (OEB), an independent government agency that regulates the electricity and natural gas sectors. After a public review and hearing, the OEB is in a position to approve our application. In this section, you can review all regulatory files about the project.

Environment assessment

The purpose of the Environmental Assessment is to: identify any potential impacts of the proposed project on the social, economic and natural environments; identify local or provincial concerns regarding the proposed project; determine preferred routing of the pipeline segments (and if alternate routing is practical); gather input from agencies, stakeholders, Indigenous communities and Métis, affected landowners, and the public. As well, mitigation measures are recommended to limit impacts on the social, economic and natural environments. It is important to minimize potential impacts of the proposed natural gas distribution pipelines and associated facilities on the environment. The data, analysis and results of the environmental assessment are detailed in the Environmental Report.

Leave to construct

We have applied to the OEB for approval to construct approximately 82 kilometres of 4-inch and 6-inch diameter natural gas pipeline, that runs through Middlesex County and Lambton County.
