CALGARY—TC Energy Corp. has signed a deal to sell an 85% stake in its Northern Courier Pipeline to Alberta Investment Management Corp. for roughly $1.15 billion.
The company formerly known as TransCanada says the 90 kilometre pipeline transports bitumen and diluent between the Fort Hills mine site in northern Alberta and Suncor Energy’s terminal north of Fort McMurray, Alta.
TC Energy will retain a 15% stake and remain the operator of the pipeline.
The transaction is expected to close in the third quarter.

The company recently completed the sale of its Coolidge Generating Station in Arizona to a subsidiary of Southwest Generation Operating Co. LLC.
