WALL, N.J., Oct. 26, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- This month Adelphia
Gateway LLC received a Partial Notice to Proceed with construction
of the first phase of the project from the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission (FERC), and it is beginning pre construction
mobilization. The project continues to work closely with local
stakeholders and governments as activity gets underway. Adelphia
Gateway will conduct additional outreach to inform residents and
businesses of construction activities in their areas.
Phase 1 construction in portions of Delaware, Chester, Bucks, and Montgomery counties includes Adelphia
Gateway's conversion of the southern 50 miles of its existing
84-mile pipeline from oil to natural gas to bring much-needed
supply to constrained markets in southeastern Pennsylvania. The northern 34 miles of the
pipeline, which extend from western Bucks
County to the Martins Creek
terminal in Northampton County,
have delivered natural gas since 1996.
"We appreciate the ongoing collaboration with FERC and the
commonwealth, as well as local municipalities, and their oversight
on this important project," said Ginger
Richman, president of Adelphia Gateway. "We are pleased to
move Adelphia Gateway forward so that we can bring natural gas
resources to families and businesses in the Greater Philadelphia area and play a role in
getting the region's economy back up and running."
In 2019, FERC issued the Certificate of Public Convenience and
Necessity and completed a thorough environmental assessment of the
Adelphia Gateway project. Recently, the Pennsylvania Department of
Environmental Protection issued the necessary permits and approvals
for phase I construction activities of the project to proceed.
Adelphia Gateway expects the southern portion of the Adelphia
Gateway pipeline to be placed into service in 2021 to serve
customers in the Greater
Philadelphia area.
