South Bow eyes mid-2027 decision on Prairie Connector pipeline
The pipeline company has locked in shipper commitments as it moves toward a final call on the oilsands export project.
Why it matters
The project could expand Alberta's oil export capacity to the United States, affecting the province's energy sector and economy.
South Bow Corp. says it remains on schedule to make a final investment decision on its proposed Prairie Connector pipeline by the middle of next year, after securing commitments from shippers.
The Prairie Connector project is designed to carry oilsands crude from Alberta to the Canada-U.S. border, connecting into the American pipeline network for further transport to U.S. markets.
Company officials said the shipper commitments give South Bow confidence to continue advancing the project toward a final decision point in mid-2027, though the investment itself has not yet been approved.
