Sabal Trail gets FERC go-ahead to start line to Fla. power plant

Sabal Trail Transmission LLC secured authorization from Federal Energy Regulatory Commission staff to place the Citrus County natural gas line into service.

On March 16, commission staff granted the Enbridge Inc. subsidiary permission to commence service for this small part of the $3.2-billion Sabal Trail pipeline system, an early phase of which is already in service. The authorization covered a 21.5-mile lateral line and meter station that will serve Duke Energy Florida LLC's gas-fired power plant in Citrus County, Fla.

The authorization came two days after FERC renewed approvals for the 1.1-Bcf/d Southeast Market Pipelines project, which along with the Sabal Trail pipeline includes Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line Co. LLC's $459.8 million Hillabee expansion and NextEra Energy Inc.'s $537.3 million Florida Southeast Connection. (FERC docket CP15-17, CP14-554, CP15-16)
