UGI Corp., of Valley Forge, on Tuesday announced plans to build a 35-mile $160 million pipeline to deliver Marcellus Shale natural gas to a planned 1,000-megawatt power plant near Shamokin Dam in Snyder County.
The 20-inch diameter, steel underground pipeline will transport 200 million cubic feet of gas a day and go into service in early 2017. Its primary customer will be the Hummel Station proposed by Panda Power Funds and Sunbury Generation L.P. to be built on the site of a retired coal-fired plant.
The pipeline will also supply gas to distribution systems operated by UGI Penn Natural Gas, Inc. and UGI Central Penn Gas, Inc.
