Since January 2013, Krishnan Suthanthiran, President and Founder of KE, has championed the same core vision for the KE Project: a dedicated West Coast energy corridor built on existing, previously approved pipeline routes and anchored by his privately owned townsite of Kitsault.

At the center of the proposal is the construction of a dedicated West Coast energy corridor extending from northeastern British Columbia to a new deep-water export port and terminal at Observatory Inlet, approximately 30 kilometers south of Kitsault. The project would enable exports of crude oil and natural gas liquids, as well as key commodities including potash and uranium.

Key Components of the KE Project:
Article content
- Construction of two pipelines—one for crude oil and one for natural gas liquids (NGL)—utilizing the previously approved Spectra pipeline corridors (permits currently expired).
- Kitsault Townsite is well-positioned to support this development. The community can accommodate more than 1,000 residents and offers excellent housing and recreational infrastructure.
- Development of the Kitsault Export Port and Terminal at Observatory Inlet.
- Construction of a rail line connecting Terrace to Nass Camp, Kitsault, and Observatory Inlet.
- Repave the existing Nass Camp airport runway to become operational and accommodate propeller aircraft such as the Q400, capable of transporting up to 100 passengers and cargo per flight.
- Pave existing gravel road from Nass Camp to Kitsault, and construct a new paved road from Kitsault to Observatory Inlet.
- Development of new housing infrastructures, ProHealth Centers, installation of purified drinking water and modern sewer systems, job training facilities, and jobs to be established in First Nation communities along the pipelines route.
- Investment and participation by First Nation communities.
- Natural gas liquids, crude oil, potash, uranium, and other commodities will be shipped from the new Kitsault Port and Terminal.
- KE is currently seeking support from the provincial and federal governments of Canada.
Article content
Saskatchewan currently produces about 25 percent of the world’s potash, expanding, increased export capacity on Canada’s West Coast could further reinforce the country’s leadership in global fertilizer markets. Saskatchewan is also a major source of uranium, supplying a significant share of the world’s nuclear fuel and strengthening Canada’s role in the global energy sector.
Article content
KE’s integrated infrastructure approach is designed to accelerate development timelines, enhance trade diversification, create jobs, and support First Nations communities, reinforcing Canada’s reputation as a stable and reliable global supplier of crude oil, NGL, potash, and uranium.
