Reliable Energy For The Future

The Pacific Northwest west of the Cascade Mountains is experiencing growing demand for natural gas, both for direct use in homes and businesses and as a fuel to make electricity. The single pipeline serving this market is already constrained, meaning that on peak-demand days, it is at or near its capacity to provide natural gas.

Additional natural gas pipeline infrastructure is needed to meet current peak-demand days and to provide for growing annual demand for this clean-burning form of energy.

Palomar Gas Transmission has withdrawn its application for a certificate to build a natural gas pipeline in Oregon, and it has told the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission that it continues to work with potential customers and a potential additional partner to provide a regional solution to the need for access to this important form of energy. While Palomar will no longer seek to permit a pipeline to serve a previously proposed liquefied natural gas terminal on the Columbia River, it will continue its effort to find commercial support for a new pipeline in Oregon to meet the needs of the Pacific Northwest.
