TC Energy Corp. will develop the Wisconsin Access Project to increase natural gas capacity on a highly utilized segment of its ANR Pipeline system. The project will add about 72 MMcfd of firm transportation service under long-term contracts to utilities serving the midwestern US. All work will occur on ANR’s existing line in Wisconsin, Illinois, Iowa, Missouri, and Kansas.
The Wisconsin Access Project involves meter station upgrades, compressor station modifications for enhanced flexibility, and emissions-cutting horsepower replacements. The project is targeted to be brought in service second-half 2022 at a cost of $200 million.
Announcement of the Wisconsin Access Project follows TC Energy’s July 2020 sanctioning of the Elwood Power/ANR Horsepower Replacement Project, providing as much as 125 MMcfd of firm delivery to an existing power plant. Elwood is also expected to enter service second-half 2020.
