FERC Positive EIS for Transco NC Southside Reliability Project

We have an update to a project we first told you about in June of last year called the Southside Reliability Enhancement Project (see Williams to Expand Capacity on Transco Pipe by 423 MMcf/d in NC). In 2022, pipeline giant Williams filed an application with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) to beef up capacity along the mighty Transco pipeline by upgrading compressor stations and other infrastructure (no new pipeline) in order to flow an extra 423 million cubic feet per day (MMcf/d) of Marcellus/Utica gas to Piedmont Natural Gas and its customers located in eastern North Carolina. The new news is that FERC recently issued a final environmental impact statement (EIS) that finds the project, with proper tweaks, will not harm Mother Earth. This is a loud and clear signal that FERC will soon grant a certificate for the project to proceed.
