/EIN News/ HOUSTON, April 12, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) TC Energy Corporation (TSE, NYSE: TRP) (TC Energy or the Company) announced today that it is seeking, through the issuance of a Request for Information (RFI), to identify potential contract and/or investment opportunities in wind energy projects that could generate up to 2,500,000 megawatt hours per year or 620 megawatts of zero-carbon energy to meet the electricity needs for a portion of its pipeline assets along its U.S. corridor.
The RFI, issued by Marathon Capital (Marathon) on behalf of the Company, is non-binding and does not commit TC Energy to any further action if the indicative terms received pursuant to the RFI are not satisfactory.

Month to date, wind has generated an average 381,000 MWh in the Southwest Power Pool and over 282,000 MWh in the Midwest Independent System Operator – both record-high monthly averages for the respective ISO territories, data from S&P Global Platts Analytics shows.
Wind generation records across the central and plains states come as the National Weather Service issues red flag warnings across portions of Nebraska, eastern Colorado and Kansas. On April 8, the region was on alert for high wind speeds, low humidity and corresponding wildfire risk.
For Midwest gas and power markets, stronger wind speeds and milder temperatures this month have conspired to pressure total demand for baseload generation from fuels like gas, coal and nuclear.

Hillsdale has joined Coldwater Board of Public Utilities to move forward to possibly build a 50-megawatt gas powered turbine planned as part of a 100-MW plant at Coldwater.
Michigan South Central Power Agency and Michigan Public Power Agency have asked the Midwest Independent System Operator to continue its study for cost of grid connection improvements needed.
There are numerous issues to address simultaneously before a decision comes on construction of the plant.
For now, three members of MSCPA will look to purchase power through 2023, but will examine possible cost savings and advantages for getting peak power instate from its own generators in the future.
