SCANA Corp. subsidiary SCG Pipeline Inc. filed an application with FERC to build an 18-mile gas pipeline in Georgia and South Carolina that would connect Southern LNG’s Elba Island liquefied natural gas import terminal near Savannah, GA, to a proposed power plant that would be built by SCANA subsidiary South Carolina Electric & Gas.

The new pipeline would transport up to 190,000 Dth/d of gas from interconnections with Southern Natural Gas and the Elba Island import terminal to the proposed 875 MW natural gas-fired generation station in Jasper County, SC. The in-service date for the pipeline is November 2003.

The application also calls for SCANA to assume ownership of capacity on an existing Southern Natural pipeline that connects to the LNG facility, which resumed full operations this month after being out of service for about 20 years.
