WELCOME TO THE NORTH BAJA PIPELINE
   

The North Baja Pipeline System, acquired in 2009 by TC PipeLines, LP and managed by TransCanada PipeLines Limited, is committed to operating a safe and reliable pipeline and to providing excellent customer service.

The North Baja Pipeline 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.


WHAT’S NEW  
 

 

To all Shippers and Customers of North Baja Pipeline:

Effective January 1, 2011, the gas control and scheduling functions for Gasoducto Rosarito (GR) and Transportadora de Gas Natural de Baja California (TGN) will be managed by Sempra Pipelines and Storage. Sempra’s Houston midstream office is fully staffed with scheduling personnel and a 24 hour gas control center.

TransCanada’s North Baja Pipeline (North Baja) will no longer perform any gas control or scheduling functions for Sempra’s pipelines in Mexico. As of January 1, 2011, North Baja will no longer accept nominations and all GR/TGN nominations must be submitted through Sempra’s QuickNom system. North Baja personnel will work hard to make this transition as easy as possible for all customers.

Questions relating to Sempra contacts and future nomination processes can be found on the Sempra website.
