Strategic Initiatives
Growth programs, investments, and their expected impact
The separation of TC Energy's Liquids Pipelines business into an independent, publicly traded entity named South Bow Corporation. This transaction allows TC Energy to focus exclusively on natural gas infrastructure, power, and energy solutions.
Expected impact: Simplifies the corporate structure, reduces portfolio complexity, and allows focused capital allocation toward high-return natural gas and nuclear energy projects.
Leaning into core U.S. energy corridors to capture rising demand from LNG exports, utility reliability, and power generation (including data centers). Key sanctioned projects include the US$1.5 billion Appalachia Supply Project, the US$0.9 billion Northwoods Project, and the US$0.3 billion TCO Connector.
Expected impact: Secures long-term, low-risk, take-or-pay contracted revenues, expanding market share in the U.S. Midwest and Northeast power generation markets.
Participating in the multi-decade Major Component Replacement (MCR) program at Bruce Power in Ontario to extend the operating life of the nuclear reactors to 2064.
Expected impact: Provides highly predictable, emission-free contracted power revenues, with annual net distributions to TC Energy projected to reach approximately CAD 2 billion by 2035.
