Pipeline Crossings under Pressure: Who Pays When Growth Meets Energy Infrastructure?

Presented by the CBA Alberta Construction Law (North) Section

This presentation explores the pivotal AER decision in Pembina Pipeline v. Qualico Developments West Ltd., 2024 ABAER 007, where the expansion of Edmonton’s Horse Hill neighbourhood collided with legacy pipelines and the question of cost responsibility. We’ll dissect the legal framework under the Pipeline Act, analyze the arguments from developers, pipeline operators, and city stakeholders, and discuss the broader implications. Expect a lively discussion on precedent, public interest, and the practical realities facing Alberta’s construction and energy sectors.

PRESENTERS

Gavin Fitch, K.C. (McLennan Ross and Counsel for Qualico) 
Tim Meyers (Bennett Jones and Counsel for Pembina, Plains Midstream, and Secure Energy Services Inc.)
Christina Sahi (Government of Alberta)
