New York Loses Appeal to Block Millennium Natgas Pipeline
(Reuters) – A federal appeals court on Monday denied New York State’s petition to review orders from federal energy regulators that authorized Millennium Pipeline Co to build a natural gas line to a power plant in Orange County, New York.
The 0.13-billion cubic feet per day (bcfd) pipeline will connect Competitive Power Ventures’ (CPV) 680-megawatt Valley Energy Center, which entered service in February using diesel as its fuel. CPV said it will switch to natural gas once it is available. Diesel was supposed to be a backup fuel.
Millennium filed with FERC to build the pipeline in November 2015. FERC approved construction in November 2016, pending receipt of other needed approvals like the NYDEC water quality certification.
That was after Millennium filed with both a federal appeals court and FERC seeking a ruling that the NYDEC had waived its authority to decide on the water permit.
millennium is owned by subsidiaries of transcanada corp, dte energy co and national grid plc. >Related News
