CER approves Trans Mountain settlement, establishing a new framework for tolls

September 29, 2026

The Commission of the CER has approved Trans Mountain’s Tolls Settlement. This decision [Filing C41001] approves a new framework for how tolls, tariffs, and transportation services are managed on the Trans Mountain Pipeline System. Tolls are the fees a pipeline company charges customers to ship products, such as oil, on its pipeline. The Commission found that the tolls were just and reasonable.

This decision also allows Trans Mountain to contract up to 90 per cent of the pipeline’s capacity to shippers, an increase from the previously approved allocation of 80 per cent.

The approved settlement resolves disagreements between Trans Mountain and its shippers on how the costs of the expansion project should be shared. As a result, the RH-002-2023 proceeding has been cancelled.
