Published by , Editorial Assistant
World Pipelines,

TC Energy Corp. (TC Energy or the company) released its 1Q22 results today. TC Energy's President and Chief Executive Officer, François Poirier commented that, “During the first three months of 2022, our diversified and opportunity-rich portfolio of essential energy infrastructure assets continued to deliver strong results and reliably meet North America's growing demand for energy. By working closely with our customers, we are developing long-term strategic partnerships and innovative energy solutions with the expectation of sanctioning over CAN$5 billion of new projects annually, in line with our historic risk and return preferences."

1Q22 results were underpinned by solid utilisation and reliability across TC Energy’s assets, further supported by the constructive fundamental outlook for North American energy. The growing need for energy security has placed renewed focus on the long-term role their infrastructure will play in responsibly fulfilling North America's energy demands:

  • The NGTL System had its highest average winter demand since 2000 of 14.2 billion ft3/d.
  • US Natural Gas Pipelines reached average flows of 30 billion ft3/d, up 5% compared to 1Q21, including an all-time daily system delivery record of nearly 35 billion ft3 in January 2022.
