Business Wire
Constitution Pipeline Company, LLC, a limited liability company
owned by subsidiaries of Williams Partners L.P. (NYSE:WPZ), Cabot
Oil & Gas Corporation (NYSE:COG), Piedmont Natural Gas Company,
Inc. (NYSE:PNY), and WGP Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:WGL), today announced
it has filed an application with the Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission (FERC) seeking approval to construct a 122-mile pipeline
connecting domestic natural gas production in northeastern
Pennsylvania with northeastern markets by spring 2015.
The Constitution Pipeline has been designed to transport up to
650,000 dekatherms of natural gas per day (enough natural gas to
serve approximately 3 million homes) from Williams Partners'
gathering system in Susquehanna County, Pa., to the Iroquois Gas
Transmission and Tennessee Gas Pipeline systems in Schoharie
County, N.Y. The capital cost of the project is estimated to be
$683 million.
“The Constitution Pipeline would become a key piece of natural
gas infrastructure in the region, supporting the overall
reliability and diversification of energy infrastructure in the
northeastern United States and helping our nation realize the full
benefit of these abundant, clean-burning natural gas supplies,” the
Constitution members said in a joint statement.
Since last spring Constitution Pipeline Company has been
involved in the FERC pre-filing process, soliciting input from
citizens, governmental entities and numerous other interested
parties to identify and address issues with the proposed pipeline
alignment. The pipeline route filed with the FERC this month
reflects changes to more than 50 percent of the original pipeline
alignment – most as a direct result of stakeholder input.
The 30-inch underground transmission pipeline would stretch from
Susquehanna County, Pa., into Broome County, N.Y., Chenango County,
N.Y., Delaware County, N.Y., and terminate in Schoharie County,
N.Y.
Williams Partners owns a 41 percent share of Constitution
Pipeline and, through its affiliates, will provide construction,
operation and maintenance services for the new pipeline. Through
their subsidiaries, Cabot owns a 25 percent share, Piedmont Natural
Gas owns a 24 percent share and WGL owns a 10 percent share of the
company.
