SHAMOKIN DAM, Pa. (AP) - Federal officials have signed
off on a plan to build a 34-mile pipeline through five central Pennsylvania
counties that will carry natural gas to a power plant being built along the
Susquehanna River.
Federal energy regulators approved the Sunbury Pipeline
Project on Friday.
The pipeline would service the power plant being built in
Shamokin Dam, about 40 miles north of Harrisburg, and will travel through
Lycoming, Montour, Northumberland, Union and Snyder counties.
UGI Energy Services Inc. spokesman Kenneth Robinson says
they are pleased with the approval. Construction should begin after state
environmental regulators issue the necessary permits.
The utility says they plan to complete the pipeline in
November and have gas available early next year.
The more than 1,100-megawatt power plant is scheduled to
be completed in early 2018.
