Diversity

In an effort to provide Ohio customers with more gas supply diversity, North Coast Gas Transmission LLC said Thursday that it is planning a 350 MMcf/d gas pipeline expansion in Ohio that will provide access to Rocky Mountain production scheduled to arrive in the state through Kinder Morgan’s proposed Rockies Express pipeline (see Daily GPI, March 1). The expansion also will increase access to the Chicago Hub and to existing and potentially new gas storage facilities in the state.

For both price and diversity reasons, coal-fired electric generation plants are destined to remain a key part of San Diego-based Sempra Energy’s future, although the company’s experience and history are deeply rooted in natural gas.

Diversity of supply adds up to security of supply, Tim Bullock, president of BP Gas and Power North America, told about 1,200 Rocky Mountain producers gathered in Denver last week. “We’re going to need all of it, all sources of supply, including Alaskan gas and LNG, if we’re going to keep the price of natural gas at a level that allows demand to continue to grow,” he said.
