PennEast proposes two phases to compete project, faces FERC objections
Tuesday, March 17, 2020
PennEast Pipeline recently pitched the idea of splitting its 116-mile pipeline project into two phases to meet infrastructure needs in Pennsylvania, while it resolves regulatory hurdles in New Jersey, according to S&P Global Platts.
The project is being held up in New Jersey by a 3rd US Circuit Court of Appeals ruling that has blocked PennEast from condemning lands in which the state held an interest. Additionally, the pipeline developer has struggled to obtain key water and wetlands authorizations in the state.
The two-phase plan recommends that the project be broken up into Phase I, which would include 68 miles of pipeline in Pennsylvania, two out of three compressor units at the Kidder Compressor Station and new interconnection facilities, and Phase 2, which would include the remaining route in Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
When completed, the PennEast natural gas pipeline will be able to transport up to 1.1 Bcf/d.
