FERC lets Williams' Transco place Virginia Southside II gas project in service

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission allowed Williams Partners LP's Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line Co. LLC to put in service the Virginia Southside II natural gas expansion project, which includes a lateral serving a power plant in Virginia.

FERC issued the authorization Nov. 27. It applies to the lateral and metering and compressor station facilities in Virginia, South Carolina and North Carolina.

The commission approved the Virginia Southside II project in July 2016. The $190.8 million project, which includes the Greensville lateral, was designed to bring gas to Dominion Energy Inc.'s Virginia Power Services Energy for a new power plant in Greensville County, Va., the Greensville Power Station. (FERC docket CP15-118)

On Nov. 21, FERC upheld its approvals of gas transportation rates for two Transco projects, Virginia Southside and the Dalton expansion, against challenges by New York and North Carolina utility commissions.
