Kinder Morgan Energy Partners is increasing the scope of its Trans Mountain Pipeline expansion in Western Canada. Subsidiary Kinder Morgan Canada said Thursday that increased long-term commitments from shippers have convinced it to ramp up the proposed expansion capacity to 890,000 barrels per day from a previously planned 750,000.
