PIPELINES
Mountain Valley Pipeline Begins Operations - The long-delayed Mountain Valley natural gas pipeline from Virginia to West Virginia entered service Friday. The pipe is now available for interruptible or short-term firm transportation service until long-term firm capacity obligations commence on July 1, U.S. gas pipeline company Equitrans Midstream (NYSE:ETRN) (Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania), the lead partner in the Mountain Valley venture, said in a statement. The pipeline is designed to carry up to 2 billion cubic feet per day of gas from the Marcellus and Utica shale production regions in Pennsylvania, Ohio and West Virginia to local distribution companies, power generation facilities, industrial users and others in growing demand markets in the U.S. Mid-Atlantic and Southeast, Equitrans said.
