More than ever, North Americans are concerned about energy. They want abundant energy from suppliers who deliver reliably, safely and cost-effectively. TransCanada is a company that
has addressed those needs responsibly through strategic vision and created lasting value for our shareholders.
In 2007, for example, we acquired the American Natural Resources Company and ANR Storage Company (collectively, ANR) to make good on that promise to customers from the Great Lakes to the Midwest and the Gulf of Mexico.
This acquisition not only extends our pipeline system to 59,000 kilometres, it provides communities with unprecedented connections to emerging supply basins and gives us access to 355 billion cubic feet of strategic natural gas storage capacity. These assets fit well with our existing North American portfolio and further strengthen our position as a leader in the North American gas transmission business.
As a result, American consumers and businesses can now count on TransCanada to link them reliably and safely to the secure energy supplies they want and need.
