CHARLESTON (AP) - The parent of Columbia Gas
Transmission says it's won federal approval for a plan to spend $300
million a year through 2017 on improvements to its Appalachian pipeline
system.
Indiana-based NiSource Inc. announced Friday the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission approved the plan for Columbia Gas Transmission's
lines in West Virginia, Virginia, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Maryland and
Kentucky.
Chief Executive Officer Jimmy Staton says the $1.5 billion investment
will help ensure safer, more reliable pipeline infrastructure for
customers and the communities across the region.
The investments
stem from a consumer settlement that is unrelated to the December
explosion of a Columbia transmission line near Sissonville that
destroyed several homes.
NiSource says it will also spend $100 million on maintenance, and its
long-term plan is to invest about $4 billion over 10-15 years.
