From a post back in 2011:
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) has approved Williams Partners' proposal
to expand its Transco natural gas pipeline to provide an additional
142,000 dekatherms of incremental firm natural gas transportation
capacity to serve growing markets in the Mid-Atlantic region by November
2012.
The Mid-Atlantic Connector expansion project is designed to provide
power generation and local distribution customers in Virginia and
Maryland with incremental firm transportation capacity from a Transco
interconnection with East Tennessee Natural Gas in Rockingham County,
N.C.
On Friday the FERC gave Williams approval to continue the project.
Reuters is reporting:
The owner of the
Transcontinental Gas Pipeline Co LLC received approval on Friday
from federal energy regulators to startup a segment of a natural
gas pipeline expansion project this weekend.
Williams Cos Inc had requested approval to start the
new segment so it can reroute supply to customers while
performing some work on another segment.
The company had said in a June 28 filing that if it was
unable to place the pipeline section into service by the weekend
"existing delivery obligations could be negatively impacted."
On Thursday, a company spokesman said it would not take its
line out of service this weekend unless it received approval
from the U.S. Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to operate
the new segment.
