Atlantic Coast Pipeline Asks FERC for Extra 2 Years to Build
On Monday Dominion Energy's 600-mile Atlantic Coast Pipeline (ACP) scored a major victory at the U.S. Supreme Court with a decision that allows the project to drill and install pipe underneath the Appalachian Trail (see Victory! Atlantic Coast Pipeline Wins US Supreme Court Case). Fighting the Appalachian Trail case plus other legal and regulatory battles have caused the project to be delayed--by years. On Monday ACP formally asked the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) for permission to extend the deadline to get the project done by an extra two years--until October 2022. We expect FERC will honor the request.
