Williams Partners Files for Transco Expansion in Northeast
Read MoreHide Full Article
One of the leading providers of energy infrastructure in the United States, Williams Partners L.P. is planning to develop its Transco interstate natural gas pipeline and has also filed an application with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) seeking approval for its Rivervale South to Market project. Per the certificate application, the expansion is expected to have a capital cost of $127 million.
Rivervale South to Market Project
The project is expected to provide incremental service to natural gas consumers by generating 190,000 dekatherms per day of firm transportation capacity to northeastern markets. The project is expected to be operational by the winter heating season of 2019-2020.
Under the Rivervale South to Market project, an agreement has been executed by the company with Direct Energy Business Marketing and UGI Energy Services for firm transportation service. On completion, the project will benefit northeastern consumers, mainly in New Jersey and New York by providing for the growing demand for heating and power generation.
Transco pipeline has interconnection with Tennessee Gas Pipeline in River Vale (Bergen County), NJ to Transco’s Central Manhattan Meter Station in Hudson County and the Station 210 pooling point in Mercer County.
The expansion of the Rivervale South to Market project will entail uprating of 10.35 miles of existing Transco pipeline, along with upgrades and alterations to existing pipeline facilities, all in New Jersey. It will also include addition of a 0.61-mile pipeline loop, which is subject to regulatory approval. A process used to boost the permissible operating pressure in a pipeline that is not being fully used per its design capability is known as uprating a pipeline.
The project to be added to the list of over $5 billion in Transco expansion projects commissioned in 2017 or currently in execution is scheduled to be brought online by Nov 1, 2019.
