New Market Project
Purpose and Description
Dominion Transmission, Inc. (DTI) has proposed the New
Market Project to improve access to natural gas for
customers in upstate New York. The project will allow the
delivery of additional supplies of natural gas to National
Grid distribution areas to meet the growing consumer
demand for the fuel. The New Market Project’s total cost is
expected to be about $159 million and will add
approximately 33,023 horsepower of compression to DTI’s
existing interstate pipeline transmission system.
DTI will file in June 2014 an application for a Certificate of
Public Convenience and Necessity with the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission (FERC), the agency responsible for
reviewing and authorizing interstate natural gas
transmission projects. FERC will conduct a full review of
the project under its regulations in compliance with two
federal statutes, the Natural Gas Act and the National
Environmental Policy Act.
