In an effort to better serve Northeast shippers, Inergy LP subsidiary Inergy Midstream LLC announced that it is conducting a nonbinding open season on its Marc I Hub Line for shippers seeking to move gas bi-directionally between Inergy’s Stagecoach South Lateral pipeline, Tennessee Gas Pipeline Co.’s (TGP) 300 Line and Transcontinental Gas Pipeline Corp.’s (Transco) Leidy Line.

Inergy said the proposed project targets northeast shippers seeking:

The Marc I Hub Line will include approximately 43 miles of lateral piping, compression and interconnect facilities connecting Inergy’s Stagecoach South Lateral to Transco. The anticipated in-service date for the project is the summer of 2010. Inergy is expected to complete construction of its North Lateral connecting Stagecoach to the Millennium Pipeline later this year.

The open season begins Thursday and will close on July 11.
