Equitrans asks to build gas pipeline linked to Mountain Valley project

Equitrans LP asked the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission for full construction authorization for all remaining facilities on a 600,000-Dth/d expansion project that connects to the 300-mile, 2-Bcf/d Mountain Valley Pipeline project.

With the Mountain Valley project, the Equitrans expansion project will help carry gas from the Appalachian Basin to local distribution companies, industrial users and power generation facilities throughout the U.S. Northeast, mid-Atlantic and Southeast. In its May 31 request, Equitrans said it has received all environmental permits and landowner permissions to start construction on the remaining facilities, and in particular the H-316 pipeline. Equitrans on March 26 received limited approval from FERC to proceed with work on a compressor station in Pennsylvania that is part of the project.

Equitrans in October 2017 received FERC approval for the $172 million expansion that interconnects with Mountain Valley. The Mountain Valley project, a joint venture of EQT Midstream Partners LP and affiliates of NextEra Energy Inc., RGC Resources Inc., WGL Holdings Inc. and Consolidated Edison Inc., would deliver gas about 300 miles from West Virginia to connections in Virginia with Williams Partners LP's Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line Co. LLC and TransCanada Corp.'s Columbia Gas Transmission LLC systems. Equitrans is owned by subsidiaries of EQT Midstream Partners. (FERC docket CP16-13)
