Eastern Gas Transmission and Storage System (EGTS)
| Part of the Global Gas Infrastructure Tracker, a Global Energy Monitor project. |
Eastern Gas Transmission and Storage System (EGTS) is an operating natural gas pipeline system in northeastern USA.[1]
Location
Main Line
The pipeline system runs from Ohio, USA to Virginia, USA, with pipelines throughout Ohio, West Virginia, Virginia, Pennsylvania, and New York.[1] The route below has been adapted from the EIA Interactive State Maps database.[2]

Background
The system was originally owned by Dominion Energy subsidiary Consolidated Natural Gas (CNG), but on November 1, 2020, Berkshire Hathaway Energy acquired a number of Dominion Energy gas transmission, storage, and LNG assets. The company is now called BHE GT&S, and the former CNG operations are known as Eastern Gas Transmission and Storage System (EGTS).[1]
EGTS provides natural gas transportation and storage services with one of the largest underground natural gas storage systems in the United States. The multi-state pipeline system links to other major pipelines and to markets in the Midwest, Mid-Atlantic and Northeast regions. The system includes nearly 4,000 miles of pipeline and more than 985,000 horsepower of compression in six states: Ohio, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, New York, Maryland and Virginia.[1]
Mid-Atlantic Chiller Project
The Mid-Atlantic Chiller Project would have provided an additional 25 MMcf/d of natural gas from supply areas in Leidy, Pennsylvania to Virginia markets via installation of air inlet chiller systems at compressor stations along the EGTS’ PL-1 system. Developers applied for FERC approval but the project was later cancelled, according to the EIA database.[3]
Morgantown Connector Project
The project was proposed to provide up to 220,000 Dth/d of natural gas transportation service for customers in Monongalia County, West Virginia, United States.[3]
Capital Area Project
The expansion project comprises "4 new compressor stations (1 each in Clinton, Centre, and Franklin Ctys, PA, and 1 in Loudoun County, VA) that will provide an additional incremental transportation of gas."[5] Note that the EIA recorded this as 171 miles of new pipeline, though it is appears to have no new pipeline construction associated with it[6] and is recorded as 0 new miles.
