The California Public Utilities Commission has rejected plans by Southern California Gas and San Diego Gas & Electric to build a 65-mile natural gas pipeline through San Bernardino County

摘要

The five-member commission voted unanimously to deny the request and a $621 million rate increase by the two utilities, which are both subsidiaries of Sempra Energy. The utilities said the 36-inch pipeline was needed to carry natural gas between two east-west pipelines that enter California at Needles and Blythe, ensuring a reliable source of gas for future electricity plants.
