Williams is holding an open season through Nov. 16 for firm transportation service on its Transco natural gas pipeline system to serve markets in the southeastern United States. New service from the Mobile Bay South Project is anticipated to be available in the spring of 2010, subject to Federal Energy Regulatory Commission approval. Williams said up to 700,000 Dth/d of firm transportation service will be offered on Transco’s Mobile Bay Lateral from Station 85 in Choctaw County, AL, to an existing interconnection with Gulfstream Natural Gas System in Mobile County, AL. The final project size, scope of facilities and cost will be determined by the results of the open season.

Plus our own Pascagoula Expansion Project is designed to bring almost 500 MMcf of supply to the region. Mobile Bay South is ideally situated to connect that supply to growing demand from local distribution companies and power generators in the Southeast.”
