Update #3

Media statement - November 15, 2025, 11:15 a.m. CT

We are concerned about this incident and especially mindful of those impacted by the debris generated from equipment contacting the buried pipeline. We understand that four people were treated and released. The pipeline damage was caused by heavy equipment operated by an external party working on behalf of another company unrelated to TC Energy.

As our crews continue working closely with landowners, utilities, regulators, and first responders, we want to underscore the critical importance of safety when operating heavy equipment in proximity to high pressure gas pipelines and when working in infrastructure corridors. As a reminder, everyone should always call 811 before digging to help prevent line strikes. This is essential to preventing damage to underground infrastructure and protecting workers, communities, and critical energy systems.

We are committed to working with communities, local authorities and regulators as we continue to work through the events of yesterday’s incident. Our top priority is the safety of people and our workforce as we begin development of the repair plan and gas continues to be delivered to the community.

We appreciate the swift actions of first responders and the ongoing cooperation of local partners as we continue addressing this event.

We care deeply about the well-being of the community and our workers. Your safety remains our highest priority. 

We continue to respond to an incident that caused damage to the ANR Pipeline system in Sheboygan County, Wisconsin. It's believed to have been caused by heavy equipment operated by an external party conducting work on behalf of another company unrelated to TC Energy. While the incident did not cause an explosion, the release of gas may have resulted in a temporary dust cloud.

Our personnel are on site and working closely with landowners, local utilities, regulatory authorities, and first responders. We thank local first responders for their quick and effective actions.

We are doing everything we can to respond quickly and mitigate any risk to the environment. A repair plan to fix the pipeline is underway.

A force majeure has been declared as a result of the incident for a minor restriction in gas flow for some customers. There are dual lines in the area and gas continues to be delivered to the community.

We remind anyone to always call 811 before digging to help prevent line strikes and keep communities safe.

We will provide additional information as soon as it becomes available.

Further inquiries can be sent to TC Energy media relations at media@tcenergy.com.
