The new infrastructure includes expansion of compression at six existing stations and one new compressor station, resulting in 136,300 dekatherms per day of additional capacity to help meet growing demand for natural gas in the New England market area. The project adds an additional 55,400HP to TGP’s system.

Bryan Neskora, senior vice president and chief commercial officer of El Paso Corp, said: This project provides efficient expansion of our system and leverages our existing capability from the Gulf Coast to enable four of our utility customers to manage growth in natural gas demand. The new infrastructure, completed on time for the 2007 winter heating season, is an important part of our planned overall northeast US development.

El Paso Corp provides natural gas and related energy products in a safe, efficient, and dependable manner. The company owns North America’s largest interstate natural gas pipeline system and one of North America’s largest independent natural gas producers.
