The nearly 300-mile, 30-inch $475 million gas line that was to be built from West
Virginia to North Carolina is on hold.
Electric power plants that Dominion Transmission was counting on to be
customers of its proposed Greenbrier Pipeline have apparently canceled
their projects.
The problem is a lack of customers.
The giant gas pipeline was designed to run
from Kanawha County to Granville County, N.C. In West Virginia, the
pipeline would run through Fayette, Kanawha, Mercer, Raleigh, Summers
and Nicholas counties. It also would cross the Bluestone, Gauley and
New
rivers in West Virginia before running through southwestern Virginia to its
terminus near Stem, N.C.
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission approved the project.
