TC Energy's CEO said in Houston that Iran war-related disruptions to global LNG supplies make a second phase of the LNG Canada project more likely, implying stronger demand for additional export capacity. The comment boosts the prospect of Canadian LNG expansion and could support higher LNG prices and improved project economics for Canadian energy firms, though timing, capex and geopolitical risks remain.
