Trans Mountain's earlier-than-expected commercial operations start on May 1 came as a surprise, defying initial projections of a second-quarter startup, despite remaining challenges in completing line fill and securing regulatory approvals.
The significant expansion of Trans Mountain is vital for boosting crude flow from Alberta to Canada's Pacific Coast, with the pipeline expected to reach full utilization by 2025-26 after initially increasing volumes gradually, impacting competition with other key pipelines like Enbridge's Mainline and TC Energy's Keystone.
