“Today is a pivotal moment for TC Energy’s future, one that delivers progress on a strategic priority and our commitment to shareholders to maximize the value of our assets,” said François Poirier, TC Energy’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “We are uniquely positioned as a highly focused natural gas infrastructure and power and energy solutions company. We will continue to deliver enduring shareholder value, while playing a critical role in meeting growing industry and consumer demand for more secure, affordable and sustainable energy across North America and globally.”

As a standalone entity, TC Energy is positioned to achieve greater success by executing a tailored strategy to fully capture the incremental value of its unique opportunity set. Focused on long-term energy fundamentals and capital discipline, the Company will maintain its regulated, low-risk and utility-like portfolio.

“On behalf of TC Energy, I wish the team at South Bow all the best, and I am excited for the unique opportunities that lie ahead for them,” said Poirier. “Growing energy demand requires all forms of energy, and South Bow is well-placed to deliver resilient supply to the strongest demand markets in North America.”
