U.S. reinstates certificate for Williams' Transco pipeline's expansion project
The U.S. energy regulator has reinstated the certificate for Williams Companies' Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line (Transco) on Friday, the company said on Monday, which would allow the expansion of the project.
Last year, a U.S. appeals court said the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) should have better assessed the risk of significant greenhouse gas emissions, throwing out its "arbitrary and capricious" approval of the Regional Energy Access (REA) expansion project.
The company had sought a temporary emergency certificate with the FERC to continue operating its project, in September.
Williams designed REA to help meet rising gas demand and ease supply constraints affecting customers in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Maryland.
The company said the project, one of the biggest under construction in the U.S. Northeast, will provide enough gas to serve 4.4 MM homes annually.
The company said on Monday the order for the $1-B natural gas project will take effect immediately upon the issuance of the mandate by the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals.
