TC Energy said that it will move ahead with the $400 million Elwood Power/ANR Horsepower Replacement Project pertaining to the company’s ANR Pipeline System, a natural gas pipeline network in the US.

The project will involve the replacement, upgrade, and modernizations of certain facilities along a highly used portion of the ANR Pipeline System.

Under a long-term agreement, the ANR gas pipeline will transport up to 125,000 Dth/d of firm transportation service to an existing power plant.

According to TC Energy, the facilities work of the Elwood Power/ANR Horsepower Replacement Project includes compression and ancillary upgrades and other modifications along with the existing infrastructure of the ANR natural gas pipeline.

The Elwood Power/ANR Horsepower Replacement Project is slated to be commissioned in H2 2022.

Russ Girling – TC Energy President and CEO said: “The facilities are designed to enhance the safety and reliability of our ANR pipeline system while reducing emissions.

“This investment will serve to reinforce a key portion of our ANR pipeline network in the Midwest allowing us to maximize its capacity to support increased power generation, and highlights the opportunities for organic growth along our existing right-of-way.”
