Texas Eastern Transmission LP(Tetco) commenced service on its Bayway Lateral Project Dec. 22, according to a filing at FERC [CP16-473]. The $30.9 million project, which was planned to fuel a refinery and an adjacent co-generation plant in New Jersey, in July received a certificate of approval from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. Tetco, a subsidiary of Spectra Energy Partners LP, said the 24-inch diameter pipeline would run about 2,300 feet, beginning at an interconnection with Tetco’s existing 42-inch diameter Line 38. The lateral would then extend to two facilities in Linden, NJ: Phillip 66’s Bayway Refinery and a gas-fired power plant owned by Cogen Technologies Linden Venture LP. The project is to provide up to 300,000 Dth/d of firm transportation service.
