Opponents of a $950-million natural gas pipeline system expansion in Pennsylvania and New Jersey will ask the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to reconsider its Jan. 11 approval of the project, noting one state's earlier argument that the added capacity is not needed.
The pushback follows commissioners’ unanimous decision to permit the project, called the Regional Energy Access expansion, which would add 829,000 dekatherms a day to the existing Transco pipeline owned by Williams Co. that transports Marcellus shale gas to customers in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Maryland.
