Florida Gas Transmission Co. LLC asked the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to give it authorization to upgrade a compressor station and install other natural gas mainline facilities that would allow it to provide more firm transportation service to Entergy Louisiana LLC in Washington Parish, La.
The company submitted a notice of request for the authorization under its blanket Natural Gas Act certificate Nov. 1, supplemented Nov. 6. Florida Gas is a subsidiary of a holding company that is half-owned by a subsidiary of Kinder Morgan Inc. and half-owned by a subsidiary of CrossCountry Energy LLC, which is connected to Energy Transfer LP.
The proposed East Louisiana project would provide firm gas transportation service of up to 75 MMcf/d to an Entergy Louisiana delivery point. Florida Gas Transmission and Entergy Corp.'s Entergy Louisiana entered into a precedent agreement for gas transportation for a primary term of 10 years from a receipt point on the pipeline's mainline in Mobile County, Ala.
Through the project, estimated to cost about $5 million, Florida Gas would build or modify equipment at a compressor station in Perry County, Miss., and make other changes to a mainline valve site in Washington Parish. (FERC docket CP19-12)
In a different proceeding Oct. 31, FERC allowed Boardwalk Pipelines LP's Gulf South Pipeline Co. LP to put into service a $29.7 million gas system expansion project to serve Entergy Louisiana's St. Charles Power Station in St. Charles Parish, La. (FERC docket CP16-478)
