Gulfstream Natural Gas System, L.L.C. announced today that it has accepted the certificate issued by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission authorizing the company to expand its pipeline system to provide natural gas service to Progress Energy's Bartow Power Plant in Pinellas County, Fla.
The expansion project, known as Phase IV, is designed to increase Gulfstream's system capacity by approximately 155,000 dekatherms per day. It will include construction of approximately 17.5 miles of 20-inch diameter pipeline that will connect the existing Gulfstream pipeline to the Bartow Power Plant. The project also will require the installation of additional compression in Coden, Ala., and Manatee County, Fla.
"We appreciate the efforts of the FERC and other state and federal agencies in reviewing this application," said Brad Reese, Gulfstream vice president. "Progress Energy is a major electric provider and we welcome the opportunity to help them meet the region's growing energy needs for many years to come."
