TransCanada Applies For Energy East Pipeline Consent
TransCanada Corp filed for National Energy Board approval of its $10.8 billion Energy East pipeline to ship oil sands crude to eastern refineries and Atlantic export ports.
Regulatory review of the proposed 4,600 kilometer (2,860 mile) line is expected to last about 18 months.
Energy East is TransCanada’s most ambitious project to date. The company, which is also the backer of the controversial Keystone XL project, wants to convert an existing natural-gas pipeline to carry 1.1 million barrels per day of crude as far as eastern Ontario, then add new pipe to Quebec and New Brunswick.
The line will run from the Hardisty, Alberta, storage hub to Saint John, New Brunswick.
