"The company’s proposal to build more than 30 miles of natural gas pipeline has worried environmental advocates, who believe it could harm nearby residents."
"Mountain Valley Pipeline LLC filed with regulators Monday official requests to build its revised Southgate extension project from Southwest Virginia into North Carolina.
In a filing with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), MVP is seeking issuance of an amended certificate of public convenience and necessity by the end of this year to construct about 31.3 miles of 30-inch diameter natural gas pipeline to deliver up to 550,000 dekatherms of natural gas a day to Duke Energy and Enbridge Gas North Carolina.
“To date, nearly all of North Carolina’s natural gas supply is provided by a single interstate transmission system,” said Shawn Day, a spokesperson for the Southgate project. “The MVP Southgate project will diversify the state’s natural gas supply and bolster North Carolina’s energy and economic security.”"
