GIANT PIPELINE PROJECT CANCELED - Not Enough Customers

(10/15/2003)

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.
