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.

Connecting to virtually every major pipeline in the U.S. Gulf Coast and additional Midwestern lines, TC Energy’s Columbia Gulf Transmission System (CGT) ensures energy reaches where it’s needed most, adapting to evolving energy demands and shifting environmental priorities.

The existing ANR St. John Compressor Station facilities will be modernized by replacing seven existing reciprocating compressor units with two Solar Turbines compressor units, including two Taurus-70 units and one Mars-100 unit.

The Monongahela National Forest - one of the most biologically diverse national forests in the U.S. – also happens to be along the pathway of the WB XPress natural gas pipeline, which was placed into service last month. Work on the WBX included upgrading and enhancing an existing TransCanada pipeline system that has been safely serving customers for over 60 years. For nearly four years, TransCanada worked closely with various MNF resource specialists, including soil scientists, wildlife biologists, hydrologists, aquatic biologists, and botanists during the planning, permitting and construction phases of the project.
