TC Energy Corp. has approved its WR Project, a set of projects designed to expand an existing portion of the ANR Pipeline Company (ANR) system to serve markets in the Midwest.
By expanding its system, ANR will be able to provide up to 157,000 dekatherms per day of natural-gas capacity to local-distribution and electric-generation companies in markets that have recently announced significant coal-fired and vintage-gas generation retirements. ANR has secured long-term firm transportation agreements to meet energy demand in the Midwest.
“The electrification of horsepower for the project is expected to result in approximately 43 percent reduction in carbon dioxide-equivalent emissions at the source, with full utilization of the electric-drive units — consistent with TC Energy’s approach to optimize our existing footprint with more sustainable infrastructure, while improving reliability and organically growing our business along our existing corridor,” said Françoi
