At BHE GT&S, we are always looking for ways to improve: to better serve our customers, to enhance the efficiencies on our system and to bring cleaner energy into our service footprint. Active projects or projects recently placed into service are listed on this page.

Project Oak Leaf

Project Overview

• EGTS proposes Project Oak Leaf to increase the capacity of its PL-1 pipeline system to deliver incremental volume to serve end-use customers in Maryland and Virginia. Project Oak Leaf will leverage existing EGTS infrastructure while increasing the capacity on its system through pipeline and compressor station additions creating 250,000 dekatherms per day of additional natural gas capacity. Project Oak Leaf will establish primary receipt points at the Leidy Interconnection with Transcontinental Gas Pipeline in Clinton County, PA. Deliveries will be directed to one new interconnect in Frederick County, MD, as well as three existing interconnects in Frederick County, MD, and Loudoun County, VA.
• Regulatory approval for the project will be obtained via application to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) pursuant to Section 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act.
• EGTS is committed to safety and environmental respect for the benefit of communities and its employees. EGTS maintains operating policies and procedures that adhere to United States Department of Transportation (USDOT) safety requirements for inspections, testing, operations, preventive maintenance, repairs, vigilant patrols of facilities and more.

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.
