Thorny issues of foreign ownership of U.S. energy infrastructure assets could arise in the recently announced partnership of RBS Sempra Commodities and the Abu Dhabi national energy Company, TAQA, which is seeking a stake of up to 10,000 MW in U.S. generating assets. An RBS Sempra executive told NGI last Monday the partners recognized the issue loomed and have filed with a multi-agency committee headed by the U.S. Treasury Department for a review of the partnership’s first deal, which was announced Dec. 10.

New England Faces Pipeline Constraints As Early as Winter 2003
If New England’s interstate natural gas pipeline system remains unchanged, transportation constraints are likely to arise during winter 2003, affecting more than 1,700 MW of gas-fired electricity generation in the region, according to a new study conducted by ISO New England (ISO-NE) and Levitan & Associates. Consequently, constraints could intensify by winter 2005, with capacity shortfalls potentially affecting up to 3,200 MW of gas-fired electricity production.
