Coastal GasLink achieves mechanical completion, ahead of 2023 year-end target
Today, TC Energy shared that the Coastal GasLink project safely reached mechanical completion on November 6, 2023, ahead of schedule. Mechanical completion represents another major milestone following the recent achievement of 100 per cent pipeline installation.
This major milestone is a testament to the power of collaboration between industry, Indigenous and local communities, and government, all of whom have played a significant role in shaping the future of Canada’s energy sector.
Coastal GasLink is Canada's first direct path for sustainability produced Canadian natural gas and a critical component to support global emissions reduction.
Together with LNG Canada, Coastal GasLink has the potential to reduce global GHG emissions by 60 to 90 million tonnes of CO2 each year, displacing global GHG emissions from higher emitting forms of energy such as coal.
Through the remainder of 2023, TC Energy will complete commission activities to be ready to deliver commissioning gas to the LNG Canada facility by year end.
