TransCanada sees new date for US permit

摘要

New York-TransCanada does not expect to receive a permit approval for Keystone XL, a 500,000 b/d expansion to TransCanada's Keystone system, until potentially as late as the second quarter of 2011, a spokesman said December 10. "Our expectation was that the [US State Department] was going to make a decision on the Presidential Permit in the first half of 2011," TransCanada spokesman Terry Cunha said in an email. The company is "still stick- ing to our schedule to be in service in 2013," Cunha said.
