CALGARY — TC Energy Corp. is bringing back former chief executive Hal Kvisle to serve as chair of the board of the new liquids pipeline company it plans to spin off.

Kvisle was president and chief executive of TransCanada Corp., now named TC Energy, from 2001 to 2010.

TC Energy announced plans in July to split into two separate companies.

The plan will see TC Energy focus on natural gas infrastructure as well as nuclear, pumped hydro energy storage and new energy opportunities, while the new liquids pipeline company will focus on enhancing the value of its existing 4,900 kilometres of crude oil pipelines.

The new liquids pipeline business will be publicly traded and will be headquartered in Calgary, with an office in Houston.

The split is expected to be complete by the end of 2024.
