FirstEnergy Finishes More Shale-Related Infrastructure in West Virginia

摘要

FirstEnergy Corp. has completed another energy infrastructure project to support Appalachian shale operations, saying this week that it has energized a $98 million transmission line in Harrison and Doddridge counties, WV. Crews placed the 138-kilovolt line in service last month. It connects a transmission substation in Clarksburg, WV, to one near Sherwood, WV, where MarkWest Energy Partners LP operates its Sherwood Processing Facility in Doddridge County. FirstEnergy completed the Sherwood substation in 2014 for $56 million to support the electricity needs of the processing plant.
