Revenue for the quarter totalled nearly $3.80 billion, up from $3.24 billion in the third quarter of 2021.

TC Energy chief executive François Poirier says demand for the company’s services across its North American portfolio remains high and it continues to see strong utilization, availability, and overall asset performance.
