The Globe and Mail reports in its Thursday edition that South Bow is all but committed to building the $2.1-billion (U.S.) Prairie Connector pipeline after the federal government introduced tax breaks and showcased the project at last week's investment summit. The Globe's Andrew Willis writes that in an investor call late last week, South Bow executives said Ottawa's planned "mega deduction" on investments in assets strengthened the case for a proposed 380-kilometre pipeline, which partly revives the Keystone XL expansion project. South Bow chief executive officer Bevin Wirzba told investors the company is working on several ways to pay for the pipeline, such as selling a stake to private equity, including players who attended the Canada Investment Summit last week. South Bow's CEO struck the upbeat tone on the Prairie Connector days after the government featured the pipeline in a summit pitchbook sent to the world's largest institutional investors. South Bow is also considering a stock sale to finance the Prairie Connector. Last week, South Bow peer Enbridge sold $3-billion of shares to pay for recent acquisitions and new projects. A final decision on the Prairie Connector will be made by the middle of next year.
