Eastern Gas Transmission and Storage, Inc. requested the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) for a six-month extension to complete a project in Harrison County, West Virginia, due to delays caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and weather issues. The original deadline for completing the project was February 22, 2021, but they now seek to extend it to August 22, 2021. The FERC has opened a 15-day period for comments and interventions regarding this request. The Commission typically acts on these requests within 45 days if they're contested, while uncontested requests are handled by the OEP Director or their designee.
