Pine Prairie’s Phase III Expansion Project would expand upon its existing storage facilities located in Evangeline Parish, Louisiana. Specifically, Pine Prairie would: (i) Construct two additional natural gas storage caverns, each having a working gas capacity of 12.0 billion cubic feet (Bcf), bringing the total number of caverns at the facility to seven; (ii) increase the working gas capacity of four of the five authorized natural gas storage caverns from 10 Bcf to 12 Bcf; (iii) restate the total capacity of Cavern No. 1 as being 10.2 Bcf to reflect an increase in the quantity of base gas to be maintained in that cavern from 1.6 Bcf to 2.2 Bcf; (iv) construct extensions of the existing storage facility piping in order to connect the proposed caverns to Pine Prairie’s existing systems; (v) construct approximately 2.50 miles of 24, 20, and 16-inch diameter leaching pipeline looping and related enhancements; (vi) install two incremental electric drive compressor units totaling 11,500 horsepower; and (vii) increase the authorized maximum daily receipt and delivery capacities at interconnections with two interstate pipelines from 600 MMcf/day to 900 MMcf/day, all as described in more detail in the application which is on file with the Commission and open for public inspection.

Pine Prairie states that the Phase III Expansion Project will increase the Pine Prairie Energy Center’s total working gas capacity to 80 Bcf, supported by base gas capacity of 22.6 Bcf (for a total storage capacity of 102.6 Bcf). Pine Prairie also requests a reaffirmation of the previously granted authorization to charge market-based rates for its storage and hub services.
