Repair work is continuing following third-party damage to the power supply to a facility on the Keystone Pipeline System near Huron, South Dakota. Our system continues to operate safely at a reduced rate as a result of the incident. We are unable to further discuss operations as it involves commercially sensitive information. We can confirm there was no material impact to TC Energy-owned facilities during the incident. Currently, there is no timeline for completion of repairs and restoration of power service. As updates are available, we will share them here.

Here you see they were investigating this as an act of VANDALSIM, not terrorism.
My point being, all these incidents this past year with everything from utilities to food production facilities...it ain’t conspiracy stuff anymore.
