An official with Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line told a Senatecommittee last week that pipeline deliverability to the Northeastregion was extremely “taxed” this winter, resulting in highdelivered gas prices to the New York market during January andFebruary. This, he said, underscores the need for more pipelinecapacity to the region.
