TransCanada has filed a lawsuit against the Obama administration and plans to file a claim under the North American Free Trade Agreement over the U.S. government's rejection of the company's proposed Keystone XL pipeline.
The company said Wednesday it has filed a notice of intent to initiate the NAFTA claim on the basis that the denial was not justified.
"TransCanada has been unjustly deprived of the value of its multibillion-dollar investment by the U.S. administration's action," said the company in a release.
The firm says it will be looking to recover $15 billion US in costs and damages as a result of what it says is a breach of obligations under Chapter 11 of NAFTA.
"TransCanada asserts the U.S. administration's decision to deny a presidential permit for the Keystone XL pipeline was arbitrary and unjustified," the company said.
Obama exceeded his power, says company
TransCanada says it has also filed a lawsuit in the U.S. Federal Court in Texas asserting that President Barack Obama's decision to deny construction of Keystone XL exceeded his power under the U.S. Constitution.
