The Commission gave the project preliminary approval on non-environmental grounds last December (see NGI, Dec. 23, 2002).

FERC last Wednesday granted a request by Tuscarora Gas Transmission to cancel the second phase of a planned pipeline expansion that was intended to serve a power generation plant proposed by Duke Energy. The pipeline asked the Commission to vacate the certificate order for this phase of the project after Duke Energy North America LLC placed on indefinite hold its plans for a 540 MW Washoe generating facility near Reno, NV.

NUI Corp. reported that the Virginia Corporation Commission has granted it a certificate for expansion of a natural gas storage facility located in Saltville, VA.
