Wyoming Compressor Replacement Improves Reliability
If you live in Lincoln County, Wyoming, Northwest Pipeline plans to retire four legacy reciprocating engine compressors and one legacy gas turbine and replace them with one natural gas-fired turbine-driven compressor (a Solar Mars 90 with about 13,220 ISO-rated horsepower) on an approximately 80-acre parcel. The company says the change will improve system reliability and reduce emissions, and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission plans to issue an Environmental Assessment on October 9, 2025 with federal authorization decisions due by January 7, 2026.
