Dominion Energy subsidiary Dominion Energy Carolina Gas Transmission (DECGT) has completed and commissioned the Charleston natural gas infrastructure project in South Carolina, US.

This natural gas infrastructure project is 100-percent dedicated to customers in South Carolina, with nearly 94 percent of the capacity serving South Carolina Electric & Gas and its customers. The remaining capacity will serve other businesses across the state.

The Charleston Project is the largest expansion project in the history of DECGT, and the third growth project completed since 2015 when Dominion Energy began operations in South Carolina.

Work on the project created about 200 jobs during construction in the upstate, Dillon and Dorchester counties. Additionally, counties along the pipeline route will benefit from a new source of property tax revenue, estimated to be approximately $1.5 million per year.

“Dominion Energy is pleased to bring this additional clean, reliable and greatly needed energy to South Carolina. The Charleston Project is the third major natural gas infrastructure project completed in South Carolina by Dominion Energy since acquiring the former Carolina Gas Transmission in 2015,”  said Dan Weekley, vice president and general manager for Southern Pipeline Operations at Dominion Energy.

This project will provide 80,000 dekatherms per day (enough natural to serve about 73,000 households on a typical winter day) of firm transportation service to three customers in Charleston, Dillon, Lexington and Marlboro counties. It included 55 miles of new 12-inch diameter natural gas pipeline from Moore to Chappells, S.C., five miles of new 4-inch natural gas pipeline in Dillon, S.C., a new compressor station in Dorchester County, and upgrades to an existing compressor station in Spartanburg County.
