St. John Compressor Station Project
A proposed natural Gas project
TC Energy is one of North America’s leading energy infrastructure companies with operations in natural gas and power industries.
The ANR Pipeline Company (ANR), a subsidiary of TC Energy, is preparing to replace natural gas compressor facilities at its St. John Compressor Station located in Lake County, Indiana, to increase the reliability, safety, and long-term integrity of the compressor station and ANR’s system.
Specifically, the proposed Project includes replacing seven existing obsolete compressor units with two Solar Turbines Taurus-70 units and one Solar Turbines Mars-100 unit.
The modern turbine compressors, which operate smoother with less vibration, will reduce emissions and noise levels at the station once complete.
The system will also operate more efficiently to meet ongoing demand for natural gas to provide power and heating to homes, while lowering emissions.
Pre-construction activity is targeted to begin in June 2024, with an estimated completion date of December 2025.

CONSTRUCTION
All Project construction activities, including the installation of the new compressor units, will be confined to our existing property.
The anticipated Project construction hours will typically be: Monday to Friday - 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., Saturday - 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday - 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Select portions of the Project may extend beyond construction hours due to the nature of work; should this occur, the community will be informed in advance.
The first working hour will be utilized for daily preparations and should have minimal noise impacts.
Mitigative noise measures, including an additional wall barrier and white noise back-up alarms, will also be put in place.

Community benefits
Our projects offer long-term economic benefits and help strengthen local, state and national economies in three key areas.
Employment and business opportunities — As we move into the construction phase of any project, we require equipment operators, welders, mechanics, truck drivers, laborers and more. We also have a demand for local goods and services. Learn more about working with us at our Contractors, Suppliers and Vendors portal.
Annual revenue to support local services — Project construction results in tax payments to all levels of government. When the Project is operational, annual tax payments help support schools, hospitals, emergency services and other local programs vital to communities.
Supporting local communities — We have a rich history of giving back to local and Indigenous communities where we live and work. Our Build Strong community investment program builds strong and vibrant communities by providing grants and donations that support community groups and initiatives, as well as awarding scholarships to our future energy problem solvers.
