Background

The project was preparing to file an application for a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity with FERC. It included pipeline construction, compressor station modifications and new metering and regulation facilities. The expected cost was $48 million, with a completion date in the fourth financial quarter or 2019.

But in June of 2019, Dominion Energy cancelled the pipeline project, which would have brought Marcellus Shale natural gas to market. A Dominion Energy spokesperson publicly blamed the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) for its failure to act on the project's application in a timely manner, leading customers to pull out.
