The 155km pipeline project consists of a new 36-inch pipeline and acquisition of an existing 24-inch pipeline that will carry gas from the Horn River area to the company’s Alberta pipeline system.
TransCanada expects the British Columbia shale gas supplies to climb to more than five billion cubic feet per day by the end of the decade and the Horn River pipeline will be its second major pipeline connecting its Alberta System with this prolific supply.
The pipeline project is expected to be brought into service by the second quarter of 2012.
