Idaho PUC Likes Avista Plan to Decrease Coal, Boost Gas
As another sign of the growing carbon-constrained times facing energy providers, the Idaho Public Utilities Commission (PUC) Tuesday approved the latest version of Avista Utilities’ long-range integrated resource plan (IRP) that calls for deemphasizing coal-fired generation in favor of more natural gas and renewable-powered generation.

Williams’ Northwest Pipeline has received authorization from FERC to place its 30-inch Parachute Lateral Pipeline project in the capacity-constrained Piceance Basin of Colorado into service. The 37.6-mile pipeline and related facilities will provide 450,000 Dth/d from Williams’ production facilities in Garfield County, CO, to the Greasewood Hub. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) approved the pipeline project last year (see NGI, Aug. 21, 2006). Affiliate Williams Power also executed a precedent agreement to provide secure transportation service on the lateral for a 15-year term.

EnCana: Storage Capacity May Be Reaching Constrained Conditions
Working gas levels in storage currently are more than 3.2 Tcf and should enter the heating season at record highs, but pricing differentials indicate that storage capacity may be becoming inadequate to handle a colder-than-normal winter, EnCana Corp. told FERC last week.
EnCana: Storage Capacity May Be Reaching Constrained Conditions
Gas storage levels could enter the winter heating season at record highs, but EnCana Corp. told FERC this week that high price differentials between injection and withdrawal season months show that the gas market is demanding that even more storage capacity be added to the marketplace. There are indications that storage capacity may be becoming inadequate to handle a colder-than-normal winter, EnCana said.
