Summary:
The Arizona Natural Gas Storage Project (ANGS) will consist of multiple salt caverns and pipeline infrastructure to be constructed on a multi-phased basis. The caverns will be created in the bedded salt structure formation located in the Picacho Basin near Eloy, AZ.
ANGS customers will have the flexibility of a 9.5 mile header system that will connect the two existing interstate pipelines in Arizona, as well as numerous pipeline laterals to new and proposed gas-fired plants within Pinal County.
This project is strategically located to provide natural gas users the flexibility needed to balance the growing renewable power needs in the Southwest region of the United States.
In addition to Firm Storage Service, ANGS will also offer Hub Services in the form of Parks and Loans and Wheeling opportunities that will feature flexible rates and terms.
On December 15, 2009, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (“FERC”) accepted ANGS’ request for approval to use the pre-filing procedures and establish a pre-filing docket. The pre-filing docket number is PF10-3-000. Stakeholder and landowner information is posted and updated from time to time. This information can be found using the following link:
