REDCLIFF, AB – Redcliff and Swift Current will be home to two of three new natural gas refuelling stations announced for the Prairies today.
The federal government is investing $3 million with Envoy Energy for the three stations. The other one is in Prawda, Man.
According to a release, the sites “will include on-site storage and easy-to-use dispensers providing all the features heavy-duty truck drivers need when refuelling along the Trans-Canada Highway.”
The funding is provided through Natural Resources Canada’s Electric Vehicle and Alternative Fuel Infrastructure Deployment, which aims to establish natural gas refuelling stations along key transportation routes. “Natural gas is a sustainable and economical option for the transportation sector,” says Jim Carr, special representative for the Prairies and Member of Parliament for Winnipeg South Centre. “Today’s investment is helping Canadian trucking fleets adopt cleaner fuel sources without compromising their day-to-day efficiency while supporting our goal of a net-zero future.” These three will bring the number of natural gas stations along key freight corridors funded by the federal government to 22.
