TC Energy Corporation (TSX, NYSE: TRP) announced that its Board of Directors has approved plans for the company to split into two independent, publicly listed companies by spinning off its Liquids Pipelines business. The division, expected to be accomplished on a tax-free basis in the latter half of 2024, comes after a two-year strategic review and promises to unlock significant shareholder value.

The spinoff aims to provide both companies greater flexibility to pursue their growth objectives, thereby enhancing efficiencies and operational excellence. Post-spinoff, will emerge as an industry leader in natural gas and energy solutions, perfectly positioned to meet the rising demand for reliable, lower-carbon energy. The Liquids Pipelines business will transform into a critical infrastructure company that links resilient and secure supply to high-demand markets, opening up opportunities for incremental growth and value creation.
