Virginia-based utility Dominion has announced that its transmission subsidiary has received more than 570,000 dekatherms per day of interest in its proposed Dominion Hub III project during an open season, and will obtain binding precedent agreements.
Dominion noted that this is its second project aimed at bringing Rockies supplies into its system from a planned interconnect with the Rockies Express pipeline in Clarington, Ohio.
The first project, Dominion Hub I, will move up to 200,000 dekatherms per day (Dt/day) of supplies into the northeast markets on behalf of an undisclosed Rockies shipper.
Dominion has entered into interconnect agreements with Rockies Express and filed an application with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission seeking approval of Dominion Hub I. Dominion Hub III participants will reportedly continue to have secondary access to all other points on Dominion’s system.
