The project is a proposed expansion of the company’s existing Algonquin pipeline system to deliver additional Appalachian and Marcellus Shale natural gas supplies to markets in the US Northeast and New England.
The AIM project will provide shippers with the opportunity to design transportation services from multiple receipt points on the Algonquin system to multiple existing and proposed delivery points.
Shippers may also request to increase the capacity at the Algonquin interconnect at Brookfield, providing incremental gas deliveries into the Iroquois Gas Transmission system via a compression-only service offered by Algonquin.
The open season for the AIM project will commence on 13 December 2010 and end on 11 February 2011.
