TransCanada is quickly becoming North America's leader in energy infrastructure.

We currently deliver 20 per cent of the natural gas consumed in North America each day through our 60,000-kilometre (37,000-mile) pipeline network. In 2009, we entered the oil pipeline business as well (size and scope). We are also the second largest natural gas storage provider in North America.

In terms of electrical power, TransCanada now owns, controls or is developing some 11,700 megawatts of generation capacity in Canada and the U.S - enough capacity to power nearly 12 million homes. Our diversified power portfolio includes nuclear, natural gas, coal, hydro and wind generation. We also conduct wholesale and retail electricity marketing and trading in Alberta, Ontario and the northeastern U.S.
