Gas Flow Boost: Columbia Doubles Pipeline Capacity Sans New Pipes
Published Date: 6/6/2025
Notice
Summary
Columbia Gas wants to boost the pressure on a pipeline in Pennsylvania, nearly doubling how much gas it can carry every day. This means more gas can flow through Line 1655, helping meet energy needs faster. If you care about this change, you’ve got until a set deadline to speak up or get involved!
Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 0 costs, 0 mixed.
Line 1655 Pressure and Capacity Increase
Columbia Gas filed to raise the Maximum Allowable Operating Pressure (MAOP) on Line 1655 in Adams and York Counties, Pennsylvania from 500 psig to 936 psig. That change would increase the pipeline's design capacity from 36,765 dekatherms per day (Dth/d) to 66,765 Dth/d.
Public Filing Rights and Deadline
Anyone may file a protest, a motion to intervene, or comments about the Line 1655 project by 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on August 1, 2025, and there is no fee to file. Timely intervenors gain the right to request rehearing and to challenge Commission orders in the U.S. Circuit Courts of Appeal, and if no protest is filed (or a protest is withdrawn within 30 days after the allowed time), the proposed activity is deemed authorized the day after the protest time ends.
