Marcellus/Utica Pipelines to Flow More Molecules to Other Markets
RBN Energy has published an excellent series of blog posts discussing pipeline projects under development within and beyond the Marcellus/Utica production area that, collectively, will enable at least a few more Bcf/d to reach customers in the Northeast, the Southeast, and the Midwest by 2030. Part 5 of RBN’s Northeast gas series (below) examines pipeline projects moving Appalachian Marcellus/Utica gas westward into Ohio, the Midwest, and to the Mid-South.

Last week, MDN reported that the Energy Secretary of the very liberal Democrat regime that runs Massachusetts had written a letter to the New England Power Generators Association, asking power generators to get on board and support an expansion of the Algonquin Gas Transmission (AGT) pipeline (see 
Williams’ Transco Southeast Supply Enhancement Project (SESE) is a 55-mile, 42-inch-wide pipeline that will run through Pittsylvania County, Virginia, and Rockingham, Guilford, Forsyth, and Davidson counties in North Carolina. It will provide natural gas to Duke Energy customers. Big Green sued to overturn a federal water quality permit issued by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Big Green wanted the court to block construction until the full case could be heard. In May, a three-judge panel from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit (4th Circuit) rejected arguments Big Green put forward that claimed the Army Corps’ decision was “arbitrary and capricious” and refused to block construction (see 
Just yesterday, MDN brought you the great news of the economic and jobs boom happening in Indiana County (Homer City), for a gas-fired AI data center project happening at what was Pennsylvania’s largest coal-fired power plant complex (see 
The Tennessee Valley Authority’s preliminary 2026 Integrated Resource Plan calls for adding 7 to 26 GW of natural gas capacity through 2040, citing load growth—driven largely by data centers and AI—that already outpaces its reference forecast and approaches its higher-growth scenario. TVA also plans up to 5 GW of nuclear, 1-5 GW of storage, 2-5 GW of unreliable renewables, and 2-3 GW of efficiency and demand response. It recommends pursuing solar while suspending wind, extending nuclear licenses, and continuing to operate its coal fleet.
