Solid execution and asset performance support higher 2025 financial outlook
Market fundamentals drive customer demand for incremental capacity projects
CALGARY, Alberta, July 31, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — TC Energy Corporation ((TSX, NYSE:TRP) (TC Energy or the Company) released its second quarter results today. François Poirier, TC Energy’s President and Chief Executive Officer commented, “Our commitment to safety and operational excellence continues to drive strong reliability, availability and financial performance, and we now expect our 2025 comparable EBITDA1 outlook to be higher, in the range of $10.8 to $11.0 billion.” Poirier continued, “Compelling fundamentals are unlocking further growth opportunities across our North American portfolio. To meet this unprecedented demand, we have announced $4.5 billion of new growth projects over the past nine months, including requests for incremental capacity on projects already announced — a trend we’re seeing on several projects currently in development. Our focus on project execution is also delivering tangible results and we expect to place approximately $8.5 billion of capital projects into service this year, on time and are tracking approximately 15 per cent below budget. We remain highly confident in our disciplined strategy and our ability to capture high-value, low-risk opportunities across North America that drive long-term shareholder value.”
