TC Energy Corporation TRP has announced that it had detected a leak in the ANR pipeline system, following which its pipeline system was shut down on Wednesday. The leak was identified near Fennville, MI.
Per Reuters, the pipeline was damaged by a third party and the company promptly shut the affected part after learning of the incident due to safety concerns. However, the incident caused a natural gas outage in the region. Michigan Gas Utilities noted that approximately 5,200 homes suffered due to the outage in the region. TC Energy further mentioned that as repairs and maintenance work have been undertaken for the damaged pipeline, the gas outage in Fennville could last for several days.
TRP’s ANR pipeline system transports over 10 billion cubic feet of natural gas per day and has access to major gas-producing basins in North America. The pipeline spans approximately 9,300 miles and transports natural gas to the midwestern states in the United States.
