The Northeast Heating Fuel Market: Assessment and Option - Table 11. Proposed Pipeline and Capacity Expansion Projects into the Middle Atlantic Region

Table 11. Proposed Pipeline and Capacity Expansion Projects into the Middle Atlantic Region

Name	From Region	States Involved	Possible First Year of Service	Status	Incremental Capacity (Million Cubic Feet per Day)
Independence Pipeline	Midwest	IL, IN, OH, PA, NY	2001	Pending FERC Approval	1,000
Millennium Pipeline Project	Canada	IL, MI, OH, NY	2001	Pending FERC Approval	714
Iroquois Gas Pipeline Eastchester Expansion	Canada	NY	2002	Not yet filed	220
Note: No firm proposals to expand pipeline capacity into the New England region have been announced or filed with the FERC during the past year. The Portland Natural Gas Transmission Company held an open season for possible expansion of its recently (1998) completed 178 million cubic feet per day import system but has yet to announce the results of the market test. The Maritimes and Northeast Pipeline (400 million cubic feet per day), completed in late 1999, can be expected to expand as Sable Island (Canada offshore) gas production continues to be expanded, but no plans to do so have been officially announced.
