Background

The Sunbury Pipeline is a 35-mile interstate transmission pipeline, which is owned and operated by UGI Sunbury, LLC, a subsidiary of UGI Corporation. The pipeline serves Panda Hummel Station, a state-of-the-art natural gas-fueled power plant at the existing site of the coal-fired Sunbury Generation facility near Shamokin Dam in Snyder County, Pennsylvania, as well as UGI Central Penn Gas, a local natural gas distribution company. The new Panda Hummel Station power plant is scheduled to begin commercial operations in 2018.

In July 2015, UGI Sunbury LLC filed an application at U.S. Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) for authorization to construct, own and operate the pipeline. In May 2016, Sunbury Pipeline received FERC approval. The construction of the project started in May 2016 and was completed in January 2017.
