The North Baja Pipeline System, acquired in 2004 by TransCanada Corp., is committed to operating a safe and reliable pipeline and to providing excellent customer service.
The North Baja System system is part of Gas Transmission Northwest Corporation, which was also acquired by TransCanada and now operates as the TransCanada GTN System. Together with Tuscarora Gas Transmission, owned by TC Pipelines LP, the systems comprise TransCanada’s U.S. Pipelines West.
The North Baja System is the 80-mile U.S. portion of an overall 220-mile pipeline initially designed to serve electric-generation load in the Mexican state of Baja California. North Baja Pipeline consists of 30- and 36-inch-diameter pipeline, predominantly in La Paz County, Arizona, and in Riverside and Imperial counties, California. It also includes a compressor station near Ehrenberg, Arizona, and various meter sets and valve stations.
With a recently completed Expansion, the pipeline will continue to serve electric generators but is now poised to be a significant path for entry of LNG-sourced natural gas into markets in southern California and Arizona from Sempra Energy International’s Energia Costa Azul LNG terminal off the coast of Baja California.
