How are we regulated

The Canadian Mainline (Mainline) is governed according to regulations outlined by the Canada Energy Regulator (CER).

The Mainline currently operates under fixed tolls as negotiated in the 2021-2026 Mainline Settlement, which ends December 31, 2026.

The Settlement is the product of a comprehensive, collaborative process of engagement and negotiation between TCPL and interested Mainline stakeholders. It enhances competitiveness and provides toll certainty for customers while maintaining stable revenue for TC Energy. The Settlement addresses a broad range of inter-related services and tolling matters on the Mainline system, including the approach to establishing fixed-tolls during the six-year term of the Settlement, the derivation of the revenue requirement, toll design and tariff provisions, and various services and tolling matters. The Settlement represents a balance of interests resulting from compromises of the diverse interests and positions of the parties.
