Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line has placed its Sundance Expansion Project into service, increasing capacity by more than 236,000 Dth/d mainly for traditional markets and new power plants in Georgia and the Carolinas. The project includes four pipeline loops, totaling 38 miles, along the company’s existing mainline system and 41,225 hp of compression at two existing compressor stations in Georgia — Station 115 in Coweta County and Station 125 in Walton County.

“Williams’ Sundance Expansion Project is designed to meet the growing needs of traditional utility, residential and industrial customers as well as the region’s rapidly increasing number of gas-fired power generation facilities,” said Gary Lauderdale, senior vice president of customer service for Williams’ gas pipeline business.

Williams filed the project with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission on April 4, 2000, and received the final order on March 29, 2001. Construction began in the summer of 2001.
