CALGARY — Natural gas shipper TC Energy Corp. says two newly built projects are up and running in western Alberta. The Calgary-based company says it invested a total of $500 million in its Valhalla North and Berland River projects. They’re part of TC’s vast NGTL System that carries natural gas throughout Alberta and B.C. Valhalla North is a 33-kilometre pipeline northwest of Grande Prairie, Alta., and Berland River is a 30-megawatt electric powered compressor station northwest of Edson, Alta. Together, they boost capacity on the NGTL System by 400 million cubic feet per day. TC says more than $24 million was awarded to local Indigenous businesses in building the two projects, and 775 workers were on the job at peak construction. --- Lauren Krugel, The Canadian Press This report by The Canadian Press was first published July 21, 2026.
