On February 27, 2025, Northwest Pipeline LLC filed an application with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to acquire, own, and operate a pipeline, as well as to make improvements by adding a compressor station. Portland General Electric Company and others also applied to abandon the pipeline upon its sale. The public is encouraged to participate by commenting, protesting, or filing to intervene in the review process, with the deadline for interventions set for April 3, 2025. The proposed project aims to enhance pipeline capacity and is projected to cost over $60 million.
Simple Explanation
Northwest Pipeline and some other companies want to buy and make a pipeline better, and they're asking permission from the government to do so. People can tell the government what they think about this plan before April 3, 2025.
