Natural Gas Storage

Alton Natural Gas Storage L.P.

In 2007, Alton Natural Gas Storage L.P. (Alton) received the necessary environmental approvals to develop an underground natural gas storage facility near Alton, Nova Scotia. The facility will consist of salt caverns that will store natural gas until it is needed for uses such as gas-fired electrical generation and heating homes, businesses, hospitals and universities.
