TC Energy's Southeast Gateway Pipeline Takes Off
CALGARY, Alberta — TC Energy Corporation (TSX, NYSE: TRP) proudly announces its significant milestone in the energy sector. The company has officially commenced collecting tolls from the Comisión Federal de Electricidad (CFE) for its newly constructed Southeast Gateway pipeline. This project represents a monumental achievement in providing essential energy infrastructure.
Details of the Project
The Southeast Gateway pipeline spans an impressive 715 kilometers and boasts a capacity of 1.3 billion cubic feet per day. Remarkably, the final project cost came in around US$3.9 billion, which is about 13 percent under the original budget. This accomplishment emphasizes TC Energy's commitment to effective resource management and timely project completion.
Constructed in less than three years, the Southeast Gateway pipeline holds the distinction of being the first substantive energy infrastructure initiative carried out under a successful public-private partnership with the CFE. This strategic collaboration demonstrates TC Energy's dedication to fostering partnerships that contribute to the energy landscape of Mexico.
Supporting Mexico's Energy Sector
In a statement that highlights the project's impact, TC Energy's President and CEO, François Poirier, acknowledged the collective efforts of the team, the CFE, and the Ministry of Energy (SENER). He expressed pride in how the Southeast Gateway pipeline aligns with Mexico's growing energy demands while supporting economic development.
Future Initiatives
Looking ahead, the Government of Mexico has ambitious plans to enhance its energy infrastructure by adding approximately 8.5 gigawatts of capacity through natural gas power plants. The Southeast Gateway pipeline, alongside other TC Energy assets in Mexico, is strategically positioned to support this green transition, leading to a more reliable and lower-emission energy future.
