TransCanada Brings Sundre Crossover Project Online in Alberta
Read MoreHide Full Article
TransCanada Corporation (TRP - Free Report) announced the commissioning of its Sundre Crossover Project in central Alberta. The project involves an investment of about $100 million.
The company’s capability to transfer natural gas on TransCanada’s NOVA Gas Transmission Ltd. (“NGTL”) System to downstream pipelines and main markets in the Pacific Northwest and California will receive a boost from the project. The new facilities deliver an additional capacity of 228 million cubic feet of natural gas per day on the NGTL System.
The construction of about 21 kilometers of 42-inch diameter pipeline in Mountain View County, east of the town of Sundre, Alberta, was part of the project.
TransCanada committed an amount of $7.2 billion for near-term growth capital of the NGTL System. This was to be utilized, subject to regulatory approvals, for increasing total NGTL System delivery capacity of clean-burning natural gas by 2.5 billion cubic feet per day by 2021.
The project engaged about 500 employees and contractors during the course of construction. A total of more than 160,000 dedicated hours were contributed by the personnel to complete the project safely and on schedule. The company spent more than $4 million in the town of Sundre and surrounding areas during construction. Mountain View County will now receive an estimated $188,000 in additional taxes paid annually during the operation of the pipeline.
The NGTL System, an extensive natural gas pipeline system in Western Canada, includes about 24,320 kilometers of pipeline and related facilities.
