Williams Partners reports that its Transco pipeline has filed an application with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to provide more natural gas transportation capacity to serve growing markets in the Mid-Atlantic region by November 2012

摘要

The Mid-Atlantic Connector expansion project is designed to provide Virginia Power Services Energy and Baltimore Gas and Electric with incremental firm transportation capacity from a Transco interconnection with East Tennessee Natural Gas in Rockingham County, North Carolina to delivery points as far north as Maryland. The proposed expansion will consist of approximately three miles of new pipeline and upgrades to existing compressor facilities in Virginia at a cost of $55 million. The Transco pipeline is a 10,000-mile pipeline system which transports natural gas to markets throughout the northeastern and southeastern United States. The current system capacity is approximately 8.6 billion cubic feet per day.
