BUILDING ENERGY SOLUTIONS

TOGETHER

Climate change is a global issue that requires both global and local solutions. We know that as a North American corporate citizen, TC Energy has an important part to play in transitioning to a clean energy future. As we continue to reduce GHG emissions within our operations, we're also focused on providing low-carbon energy options to our customers.

We are confident in our ability to deliver on our commitments, and we believe the energy transition provides growth opportunities for our company.
