History

edit
TC Energy was known as TransCanada before rebranding in 2019

The company was incorporated in 1951 by a Special Act of Parliament as Trans-Canada Pipe Lines Limited.[10]In 1954N. Eldon Tanner,president of Merrill Petroleums and former Alberta legislator, became president of the company.[11]The purpose of the company was to develop theTransCanada pipeline(now known as the Canadian Mainline) to supply eastern Canadian markets with natural gas produced in the west.

In 1998, TransCanada Pipelines merged withNOVA Corporation's pipeline business, keeping the TransCanada name and becoming "the fourth largest energy services company in North America".[12]

Seeking to expand its presence in the United States, in 2016, TransCanada acquiredColumbia Pipeline Group(CPG) for US$13 billion fromNiSource's Shareholders. The CPG acquisition added a pipeline network inPennsylvaniaand surrounding states, where theMarcellusandUtica shalegas formations are located.[13]

In May 2019, the company changed its name from TransCanada Corporation to TC Energy Corporation to better reflect the company's business, which includes pipelines, power generation and energy storage operations in Canada, the United States and Mexico.[14][15][16]

In October 2019, the 56-story Bank of America Center skyscraper inHouston, Texaswas renamed asTC Energy Centerand serves as the company's US headquarters.[9][17]

Operations

Natural gas pipelines

edit

TC Energy's natural gas pipelines business builds, owns and operates a network of natural gas pipelines across North America that connects gas production to interconnects and end use markets. The company transports over 25% of continental daily natural gas demand through 91,900 km (57,100 mi) of pipelines. In addition, the company owns 535 Bcf of natural gas storage facilities, making TC Energy one of the largest natural gas storage providers in North America. This segment is TC Energy's largest segment, generating approximately two-thirds of the company'sEBITDAin 2017. The Natural Gas Pipelines business is split into three operating segments: Canadian Natural Gas Pipelines, U.S. Natural Gas Pipelines, and Mexico Natural Gas Pipelines.[3]

The major pipeline systems include:

  • NGTL System (24,320 km)A wholly owned subsidiary, NOVA Gas Transmission Ltd., connects gas producers in theWestern Canadian Sedimentary Basinwith consumers and exports.[18]TC Energy has the largest and most extensive natural gas network in Alberta.[19]
  • Canadian Mainline(14,077 km)this pipeline serves as a long haul delivery system transporting natural gas from theWestern Canadian Sedimentary Basinacross Canada to Ontario and Québec to deliver gas to downstream Canadian and U.S. markets. The pipeline has evolved accommodate additional supply connections closer to its markets. The mainline is over 60 years old[20]
  • Columbia Gas(18,113 km)This natural gas transportation system serves theAppalachian Basin,which contains theMarcellusandUticaplays, two of the largest natural gas shale plays in North America. The system also interconnects with other pipelines that provide access to the U.S. Northeast and the Gulf of Mexico.
  • ANR Pipeline System(15,109 km)This pipeline system connects supply basins and markets throughout the U.S. Midwest, and south to the Gulf of Mexico. This includes connecting supply in Texas, Oklahoma, the Appalachian Basin and the Gulf of Mexico to markets in Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois and Ohio. In addition, ANR has bi-directional capability on its Southeast Mainline and delivers gas produced from the Appalachian basin to customers throughout the Gulf Coast Region.
  • Columbia Gulf(5,377 km)— This pipeline system was originally designed as a long haul delivery system transporting supply from the Gulf of Mexico to major demand markets in the U.S. Northeast. The pipeline is now transitioning to a north-to-south flow and expanding to accommodate new supply in the Appalachian Basin and its interconnects with Columbia Gas and other pipelines to deliver gas to various Gulf Coast markets.
  • Mexico Pipeline Network (1,680 km)— This consists of a growing network of natural gas pipelines in Mexico.

Projects in development include:

Coastal GasLink Pipeline Project— In June 2012 it was announced that TransCanada was selected by Shell andLNG CanadapartnersKorea Gas Corporation,MitsubishiCorporation andPetroChinaCompany Limited (to whichPetronasof Malaysia was added in 2018) to design, build, own and operate[21]the Coastal GasLink pipeline between northeastern B.C. gas fields nearDawson Creek, British Columbia,and theLNG CanadaLNG liquefaction, storage and export facility in the port ofKitimat,on theDouglas Channel.[22][23][24][25] The investment and construction decisions for theLNG Canadaand Coastal GasLink Pipeline Project were officially confirmed early October 2018, for completion by 2024–2025. However, hereditary chiefs of theWetʼsuwetʼenhave denied consent to construct the pipeline on the company's preferred route through culturally and ecologically sensitive lands in their unceded territory, leading tonationwide protests.[26][27]

Prince Rupert Gas Transmission project— In January 2013 it was announced that TransCanada was selected byPetronasto design, build, own, and operate[28]the Prince Rupert Gas Transmission project, a gas pipeline that would transport natural gas from the Montney region nearFort St. John, British Columbiato a LNG terminal planned byProgress EnergyCanada Ltd. inPort Edward, British ColumbiaonLelu IslandnearPrince Rupert, British Columbia.[29]The project faced opposition from theGitxsanfirst nation due to concerns about the impact it would have on salmon in theSkeena River.On July 25, 2017, Petronas announced they were abandoning thePacific NorthWest LNGproposal and TransCanada said they were "reviewing our options related to our proposed Prince Rupert Gas Transmission (PRGT) project".[30]On March 14, 2024 TC Energy announced the sale of the project to the Nisga'a Nation and Western LNG.[31]

Liquids pipelines

edit

Two TC Energy's Liquids pipelines connect Alberta crude oil supplies to U.S. refining markets.,[3]theKeystone Pipeline Systemand the Grand Rapids pipelines. The 460 km-Grand Rapids pipeline transports crude oil from the producing area northwest of Fort McMurray, Alberta, to the Edmonton/Heartland, Alberta market region. In October 2012, TransCanada formed a 50–50 CAD$3bn joint-venture with Phoenix Energy Holdings Ltd. (the Canadian subsidiary ofPetroChina) to develop the 500 km Grand Rapids Pipeline.[32]

The 4,324 km-Keystone Pipeline System transports crude oil fromHardisty, Alberta,to U.S. markets atWood RiverandPatoka, Illinois,Cushing, Oklahoma,and the U.S. Gulf Coast. The Keystone System transports approximately 20% of Western Canadian crude oil to export markets. The Keystone Pipeline has had three significant leaks since it opened in 2010. It has leaked approximately 400 barrels in North Dakota in 2011 and South Dakota in 2016, and approximately 5000 barrels in South Dakota in 2017.[33]

A third pipeline, the 1,906 km-longKeystone XL Pipeline— which is an expansion of the Keystone Pipeline System — began construction in 2020. When completed, the Keystone XL Pipeline will transport 830,000 barrels ofAthabasca oil sandscrude oil per day from the Hardisty, Alberta toSteele City, Nebraska.

TC Energy had first proposed the Keystone XL pipeline in 2008.[34]The proposal faced widespread grassroots opposition with tactics including tree sits in the path of the pipeline[35]and civil disobedience by celebrities.[36]Critics[who?]state that by developing the oil sands, fossil fuels will be readily available and the trend toward warming of the atmosphere won't be curbed.[citation needed]The fate of the pipeline is therefore held up as symbolic of America's energy future.[37]Critics[who?]have raised concerns about the risks of spillage, as theSandhillsregion of Nebraska is a fragile ecosystem.[citation needed]

In October 2011, TransCanada was involved in up to 56 separateeminent domainactions against landowners in Texas and South Dakota who refused to give permission to the company to build theKeystone Pipelinethrough their land.[38]However, on August 23, 2012, Texas Judge Bill Harris ruled that TransCanada had the right of eminent domain and could lease or purchase land from owners who refused to sign an agreement with the company for a publicright of wayfor the pipeline.[39]The landowners had said that the pipeline was not open to other companies, and so did not meet the criteria for eminent domain.[40]

U.S. PresidentBarack Obamarejected the pipeline on November 3, 2015.[41][42]

Early in his tenure in 2017, PresidentDonald Trumpsigned presidential memoranda to revive bothKeystone XLandDakota Accesspipelines. The order would expedite the environmental review that Trump described as an "incredibly cumbersome, long, horrible permitting process".[43]

In 2017, Trump signed a U.S. Presidential Permit to allow TransCanada to build the Nebraska pipeline route of the Keystone XL. TransCanada secured sufficient commercial support to commence construction preparation.[44][45]

This action by Trump inspired another wave of protests and rallies against the pipeline.[46]

In March 2020,Premier Jason Kenneyof Alberta, agreed to help finance the construction of TC Energy's Keystone XL oil sands pipeline in southern Alberta, Montana, South Dakota and Nebraska with a CA$7.5 billion (US$5.3 billion) financing agreement.[47]According toThe New York Times,despite the coronavirus pandemic, a down turn in the global economy, and "plunging oil prices", Premier Kenney said that Alberta could not afford "for Keystone XL to be delayed."[48]With this financial agreement, the Alberta government gained a US$1.1-billion ownership stake in the 1,947-kilometre pipeline which will "575,000 barrels of oil daily".[48]The province intends to sell its shares to TC Energy "after commercial operations begin."[49]Alberta also gave a full guarantee on a US$4.2-billion project loan.[49]The $USD1.1 billion equity covers construction costs from April through December 2020. TC Energy will also invest CA$.7 billion. The Alberta government are also providing a fully guaranteed CA$4.2 billion loan for the project.[50][48]The premier also said that over the next twenty years, the financial benefits to Alberta through tax and royalty revenue would be approximately CA$30 billion.[50]In response to Alberta's financial support, in March, TC Energy "approved construction of the US$8-billion project to transport up to 830,000 barrels per day of oil."[51]According to a Canadian Press March 31, 2020 article Premier Kenney estimated that "1,400 direct and 5,400 indirect jobs" would be created in Alberta during construction.[50]In September 2020, TC Energy announced that it would be restructuring some of its gas pipeline operations in Alberta.[49]

In April, shortly after construction on Keystone XL began, Judge Brian M. Morris of theFederal District CourtinMontanasuspended theUnited States Army Corps of Engineers(USACE)'s program allowing permits for pipelines to cross waterways, in spite of theClean Water Act(CWA). Judge Morris said that the USACE pipeline permits "posed a threat to endangered species" and its reauthorization in 2017, had been improper. In July 2020, theSupreme Court of the United Statesdeclined to block Judge Morris' ruling, effectively halting all construction on the XL Pipeline.[52]

In September 2020, theNekaneet Cree NationinSaskatchewan,theErmineskin Cree Nation,Montana First Nation,Louis Bull Tribe,andSaddle Lake Cree Nationin Alberta signed amemoranda of understanding(MOU) for an ownership stake in Keystone XL.[51]

In a Canadian Press article Calgary energy reporter, Dan Healing, wrote that Keystone XL's future was "still in doubt" —if Presidential candidateJoe Bidenwins the November 3,2020 United States presidential election,he would fulfill his promise to cancel the pipeline's "vital presidential permit."[51]

In January 2021, U.S. President Joe Biden revoked the project’s presidential permit.[53]

Marshall County, South Dakota leak 2017

edit

On November 16, 2017,oil leakedfrom the pipeline inMarshall County, South Dakota,for 15 minutes before the flow of oil could be stopped. The company reported the amount as over 210,000 gallons.[54]TransCanada reported it discovered the leak inAmherst, South Dakota,at 6 am on Thursday after systems detected a drop in pressure in the northern leg of the pipeline.[55]The leak was discovered about 35 miles south of the Ludden pump station.[56]

In April 2018, a federal investigation showed that the spill was almost twice as large as TransCanada had claimed in November, and that it was the seventh-largest onshore oil spill since 2002. The study showed that 407,000 gallons, not 210,000 gallons, had spilled.[57]Also in April 2018,Reutersreviewed documents that showed that Keystone had "leaked substantially more oil, and more often, in the United States than the company indicated to regulators in risk assessments before operations began in 2010".[58]

Energy

edit
Bruce Nuclear Generating Station

TC Energy's Energy division consists of power generation and unregulated natural gas storage assets. The power business consists of approximately 7,000 megawatts (MW) of generation capacity owned or under development. These assets are located primarily in Canada and are powered by natural gas, nuclear, and wind.[3]

  • Western PowerThese assets include approximately 1,000 MW of power generation capacity through four natural gas-fired cogeneration facilities in Alberta and one in Arizona.
  • Eastern PowerThese assets include approximately 2,900 MW of power generation capacity in Eastern Canada.
  • Bruce PowerThis operates theBruce Nuclear Generating Stationin Ontario. Comprising eight nuclear units with a combined capacity of approximately 6,400 MW, it is currently the largest operating nuclear power plant in the world. TC Energy holds a 48.4% interest in the asset.

TC Energy has proposed twopumped storageprojects and onesolarproject to store and supply clean energy. The Ontario Pumped Storage Project[59]nearMeaford, Ontariowould provide 1000 MW of clean energy and the proposed Canyon Creek Pumped Storage Project nearHinton, Albertawould provide 75 MW of clean energy.[4][5]The proposed Saddlebrook Solar + Storage project inAldersyde, Albertawould consist of 102.5 MW ofsolar generationwith utility-scale energy storage.[6]

Political activities

edit

In 2019 TransCanada aided the drafting of anti-protest legislation in South Dakota. The legislation, which GovernorKristi Noemsigned into law in March 2019, created a fund to cover the costs of policing pipeline protests, and was accompanied by another law which sought to raise revenue for the fund by creatingcivil penaltiesfor advising, directing, or encouraging persons participating in rioting. In response to the law Noem was sued by theIndigenous Environmental Network,Sierra Club,and other groups, who argued the laws violateFirst Amendment rightsby incentivizing the state to sue protesters.[62]
