The three bills dealt with renewable energy and global climate change issues.

Transportation Notes
Unplanned maintenance over the weekend on Wenden Station’s Solar turbine necessitated a Havasu Crossover reduction from 630,000 MMcf/d to 590,000 MMcf/d, El Paso said, but the work was completed in time to allow the restoration of 630,000 MMcf/d in Crossover capacity effective with Sunday’s Cycle 2 nominations. El Paso also reported that Line 1300 pigging between the Roswell and Caprock stations on Tuesday through Thursday this week will require a flow rate of 250 MMcf/d, or a 370 MMcf/d reduction from full San Juan Crossover capacity of 620 MMcf/d. The pig runs are expected to take eight hours each day, so El Paso intends to reinstate approximately 230 MMcf/d of Crossover capacity on Cycle 3 each day. “We cannot prorate the volume for the day to include Cycles 1 and 2, because there would be too much gas flowing for the first eight hours of the day,” the pipeline said.
