The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission has granted a request from DTE Midstream Appalachia LLC to place into service the Birdsboro Pipeline Project in Berks County, PA [CP17-409]. The 12-inch diameter, 14-mile long pipeline has the capacity to deliver 79,000 Dth/d to a 450 MW natural gas-fired power plant in Birdsboro, PA. Original plans called for one receipt point with Texas Eastern Transmission LP in Oley Township, PA. The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection in March issued a series of permits for Birdsboro Power LLC to begin construction of the power plant.
