Washington, D.C. – TC Energy released the following statement after the U.S. Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) approved, with bipartisan support, the Virginia Reliability Project.

Today it was announced we are seeking applications for local businesses to become contractors on Columbia Gas Transmission’s (TCO) Virginia Reliability Project (VRP).

TC Energy is proposing to develop an energy storage facility that would provide 1,000 megawatts of reliable energy to Ontario’s electricity system using a process known as pumped storage.

The East Lateral XPress project will provide 725 million cubic feet per day of firm natural gas transportation capacity on TC Energy’s Columbia Gulf Transmission Pipeline to a new delivery point in Plaquemines Parish, La.

TC Energy’s Virginia Reliability Project (VRP) would replace an existing segment of the Columbia Gas Transmission (TCO) Pipeline System to ensure reliable and abundant natural gas supply. TCO has been providing energy to the Hampton Roads region for more than 70 years, and as demand for natural gas rises across the region, these important updates will improve natural gas reliability and help meet the current and future needs of the Hampton Roads region.
