Capital Area Project
Project Overview
- EGTS proposed the Capital Area Project (CAP) to meet the growing energy needs of customers in Maryland and Virginia. CAP leverages existing EGTS infrastructure while increasing the capacity on its PL-1 system through compression additions. This creates an incremental 67,500 dekatherms per day (dth/d) from receipt point Transco-Leidy in Clinton County, PA, for delivery to the Cove Point Pipeline at Loudoun County, VA. No new pipeline facilities are required for this project.
- Regulatory approval for the project will be obtained through the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) under a certificate of public convenience and necessity (CPCN), and air permits, as required, will be secured from state environmental agencies.
