Williams Partners L.P. announced that Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line Company, LLC (Transco) has filed an application with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) seeking authorization for its Rivervale South to Market project, which would create 190,000 dekatherms per day of firm transportation capacity to northeastern markets in time for the 2019/2020 winter heating season.

Williams said that Transco has executed precedent agreements with Direct Energy Business Marketing, LLC and UGI Energy Services, LLC for firm transportation service under the project. Once complete, the project will help meet the growing heating and power generation demand for northeastern consumers, primarily in New Jersey and New York.

Subject to regulatory approval, the Rivervale South to Market project will consist of uprating 10.35 miles of existing Transco pipeline, adding a 0.61-mile pipeline loop, as well as upgrades and modifications to existing pipeline facilities, all in New Jersey. The certificate application reflects an expected capital cost of $127 million and a target in-service date of Nov. 1, 2019.

As quoted in a press release from Williams, Steve Haugenes, vice president of Direct Energy Business’ Natural Gas Operations Group, said, “New York City and northern New Jersey continue to be important growing markets for our vibrant commercial, industrial and wholesale businesses. Firming up volumes that have been flowing on a secondary basis will enable us to better meet the reliability standards that our customers demand.”

As quoted in a press release from Williams, J.P. Ghio, vice president of UGI Energy Services’ Supply and Customer Operations, added, “The Rivervale South to Market project is a natural fit for UGI Energy Services as we continue to grow in the mid-Atlantic by delivering clean, low-cost natural gas to our customers in New Jersey and New York.”
