The Canada Energy Regulator (CER) said on Thursday it will make a preliminary decision on Trans Mountain Corp's proposed shipping tolls for its oil pipeline expansion project this autumn, before holding a hearing on the tolls next year.
The timing of the decision aims to ensure interim tolls are in place when the pipeline expansion becomes operational, the regulator said in a statement.
The 590,000 barrel-per-day Trans Mountain expansion project will nearly triple the flow of oil from the province of Alberta to Canada's Pacific Coast and is expected to start operating late in the first quarter of 2024.when the Canadian government, which bought it in 2018 to ensure the expansion got built, puts it up for sale.
The CER said the hearing next year would look at issues including the "fairness and reasonableness" of existing tolling agreements with shippers and potential repercussions on Trans Mountain's financial standing. "After service begins on the TMEP and final costs are known, Trans Mountain can request approval from the Commission of the CER for final tolls," the regulator said.LendingClub is cutting 172 jobs, or 14% of its workforce, the financial services company said on Thursday, as it looks to reduce costs amid continued macroeconomic uncertainty.
