Dominion Resources, Inc. Analyst Notes
On June 3, 2014, Dominion Resources, Inc. (Dominion) announced it is seeking approval from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) for its two projects - the New Market project and Clarington Project. With an estimated cost of $235 million, the two projects would provide additional natural gas supplies from the Appalachian Region. Diane Leopold, President of Dominion Energy remarked, "We are pleased that we can support our customers' growing needs. Natural gas produced from the Marcellus and Utica shales in the Appalachian region of West Virginia and Ohio is expected to continue its strong and rapid growth. Our interstate pipeline system is uniquely positioned to transport Appalachian production as our pipelines traverse the area of significant supply growth. Additional firm transportation capacity for new natural gas supplies for both projects also will alleviate the possibility of shortages by providing more gas to market."
