Gas Pipeline Project Begs for More Time to Swap Compressors
Published Date: 9/30/2025
Notice
Summary
Texas Eastern Transmission asked for more time—until June 30, 2027—to finish building part of their gas pipeline project in Pennsylvania and Indiana. They’ve already completed most of it, but switching compressor types means the last part at Entriken Compressor Station needs extra time. This delay won’t cost extra money now, but folks can comment or get involved within 15 days.
Analyzed Economic Effects
3 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 2 costs, 0 mixed.
Pipeline completion extension to June 30, 2027
Texas Eastern asked the Commission for more time to finish the Appalachia to Market II & Armagh & Entriken HP Replacement Projects in Pennsylvania, requesting a new completion date of June 30, 2027. The 2023 Order had required construction to be completed by October 23, 2025.
15-day public comment and intervention window
Any person may comment on Texas Eastern's extension request; the notice establishes a 15-calendar-day comment and intervention period that ends at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on October 10, 2025. To become a party, you must file a motion to intervene by that date under the Commission's rules (18 CFR 385.214 or 385.211) and NGA rule 18 CFR 157.10.
Compressor unit switch caused remaining delay
Construction at the Entriken Compressor Station (Huntingdon County, PA) remains because the approved change in compressor unit type from electric to gas required additional time; construction at Entriken began in August 2025 and is the only remaining work for the project.
