FERC OKs Request to Place Balance of Transco REAE Online Early

On July 12, Williams asked the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) for permission to bring the final pieces of the Regional Energy Access Expansion (REAE) project online by the end of July (see Williams Asks FERC to Place Balance of Transco REAE Online Early). Then, on July 30, three extremely liberal judges from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia (D.C. Circuit) overturned the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (FERC) approval of the $1 billion REAE project (see DC Circuit Libs Reverse FERC Approval of Transco Northeast Expansion). Mainstream media has focused nonstop on the court ruling. Missed in all of the kerfuffle over the D.C. Circuit's ruling is the news that FERC granted Williams' request to start up the rest of REAE.
