In a bid to ramp up its core pipeline growth projects,TC Energy Corporation (TRP - Free Report) is set to jettison 85% stake in its Northern Courier Pipeline to Canadian Pension Fund, Alberta Investment Management Corporation for $860 million (or C$1.05 billion). Notably, the 90-kilometer conduit deals with the transportation of bitumen and diluent between the Fort Hills mine site and a terminal owned by Suncor Energy (SU - Free Report) .
Subject to customary approvals, the deal is set for closure in the third quarter of 2019. Subsequent to the divestment, TC Energy will continue to be the operator of the pipeline with 15% stake.

TC Energy is currently focusing on divesting its assets to raise cash to repay a huge debt burden as well as to fund its growth projects.
Markedly, TC Energy’s portfolio includes around C$30 billion of accretive growth projects to be placed into service through 2023. Of this, around C$7 billion worth projects are expected to be completed by year-end.Apart from C$30 billion of near-term growth initiatives, the firm is also advancing C$20 billion of additional medium-to-longer-term projects.The massive capital expenditure spending has raised financing concerns among investors, particularly when it carries an elevated leverage ratio of around 55%.
