Project Information

The TQM System is a natural gas pipeline system comprising of approximately 572 km of pipeline connecting the TransCanada Pipe Lines Limited (TCPL) Canadian Mainline System at Saint-Lazare, West of Montreal, and extending to Saint-Nicolas, near Québec City (TQM System). The TQM System also extends from Lachenaie, East of Montréal, to the Québec/New Hampshire border. The TQM System is subject to federal jurisdiction and regulation by the Commission.

On 23 August 2019, TQM submitted the Reinforcement and Asset Purchase Application pursuant to sections 47, 52, 58 59 and 74 (1) (b) of the NEB Act for leave to purchase and operate the Sabrevois Assets owned by Energir L.P. (approximately 64 km of pipeline with related components) as well as to construct and operate the Bromont Compressor Station and Saint-Basile Interconnect (approx. 20 m of NPS 12 pipeline). The Sabrevois Assets are provincially-regulated assets originally approved by the Régie de l’électricité et du gaz. New construction is limited to the aforementioned Bromont Compressor Station and the 20 m Interconnect. A Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity under NEBA section 52 is required as the assets being purchased and brought into the TQM system are greater than 40 km and cannot be exempted under section 58 of the NEBA.

The Project is part of a larger facility set within the TQM Reinforcement Program (Program).

The Program is required to meet existing contractual obligations on ‎the TCPL Canadian Mainline to the Énergir Eastern Delivery Area ‎(‎EDA‎).
