Williams said the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) issued an order on remand reinstating certificate and abandonment authorization to Transco for the Regional Energy Access Expansion (REA).
The order reinstates the certificate for REA as issued in its original certificate order and will take effect immediately upon the issuance of the mandate by the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals.
“Williams appreciates FERC’s swift action at a time when natural gas infrastructure is being called on to reliably deliver at record volumes. The recent bitter cold conditions across the Northeast are an important reminder of the vital role transmission pipelines play in delivering the natural gas necessary to keep millions of Americans warm, safe and secure,” said Alan Armstrong, president and chief executive officer of Williams.
The REA project provides critical access to gas supplies, easing supply constraints, and delivering reliable service to customers in New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, and Maryland, with the capacity to provide enough natural gas to serve approximately 4.4 million homes annually.
Recently, natural gas volumes on Transco have surged due to frigid temperatures, in addition to normal demand in the power and industrial sectors. This led Transco to achieve another all-time peak day on Jan. 23, 2025, with a total volume of 19.17 Bcf/d.
Williams is a trusted energy industry leader committed to safely, reliably, and responsibly meeting growing energy demand. They use their 33,000-mile pipeline infrastructure to move a third of the nation’s natural gas to where it’s needed most, supplying the energy used to heat homes, cook food, and generate low-carbon electricity. For more than a century, they’ve been driven by a passion for doing things the right way. Today, their team of problem solvers is leading the charge into the clean energy future — by powering the global economy while delivering immediate emissions reductions within their natural gas network and investing in new energy technologies.
