Alliance Pipeline began operations on December 1, 2000, transporting natural gas through a 2,311-mile pipeline system that collects gas in northeastern British Columbia and northwestern Alberta, running underground through Saskatchewan, North Dakota, Minnesota, Iowa, and terminating in Illinois, the heart of the U.S. Midwest. Alliance delivers more than 1.6 billion cubic feet per day of rich, high-energy natural gas to the Chicago market, enough to fuel the needs of approximately seven million average homes per day.
