Project Details

• Operator: RH Energytrans LLC
• Owner: RH Energytrans
• Parent Company: RH Energytrans
• Proposed capacity: 55 million cubic feet per day
• Length: 45 kilometers / 28 miles
• Diameter: 12 inches
• Status: Operating
• Start Year: 2019
• Cost: US $88 million

Background

RH purchased 26 miles of existing 12-inch and 5 miles of existing 8-inch natural gas pipeline from EmKey Gathering. It will qualify these facilities for conversion to natural gas transmission service, and will extend the system to its planned terminus through construction of the Risberg Line.

The project also installed additional 28 miles pipeline, with 16 miles in Pennsylvania and 12 miles in Ohio.

In October 2017, RH filed an application with FERC requesting to construct and operate a new interstate natural gas pipeline system. The proposed Riseberg Pipeline includes pipeline facilities, two compressor stations, metering and regulating stations, and facilities in Pennsylvania and Ohio, USA. In July of 2018, the US Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) issued a favorable environmental assessment for the Riseberg Pipeline, clearing the way for the RH Energytrans LLC (RH) project to proceed. In December 2018 the project received FERC approval to begin construction. Construction began in June 2019. As of August, 2019, construction was nearing completion, with an expected completion date of mid-fall 2019. The pipeline was commissioned in December 2019.

The pipeline delivers gas to LDC (East Ohio Gas Co/Dominion Energy OH) for peak day services and economic development

Dominion Energy Ohio has contracted with RH Energytrans to deliver 40 million cubic feet of natural gas a day. A proposed pig iron plant is expected to boost daily flow to 55 million cubic feet.
