New opportunities

The Alberta XPress project, being undertaken by ANR, a TC Energy-owned system, is expected to utilize capacity on Great Lakes to connect growing WCSB supply to U.S. Gulf Coast LNG export markets. Requiring no material capital spend, Great Lakes is expected to benefit from a total 165,000 Dth/d long-term, max rate contractual arrangement with ANR for an average term of 19 years with an anticipated in-service date in 2022.
