B.C. Energy Minister Adrian Dix says an agreement between B.C. Hydro and the Nisga'a First Nation will help power a planned floating liquid natural gas terminal in northwestern B.C. across the finish line.

Dix said the agreement, marked by the signing of a memorandum of understanding in Prince George, B.C., on Tuesday, will see the North Coast Transmission Line supply up to 600 megawatts to what proponents say will be Canada's second-largest LNG facility.

Construction of the line is expected to start this summer.
