Transco Boosts Texas Gas Capacity Amid Houston Demand Surge
Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line (Transco) has expanded its Texas operations to meet growing demand for natural gas in Houston and power generation. Two new expansions, totaling 285,000 Dth/d, will come online on November 1. One of the projects will transport Louisiana natural gas west into Houston for CenterPoint Energy, with a capacity of 115,000 Dth/d.
The other expansion will serve Vistra's coal plant, which is converting to natural gas. This move marks a shift towards cleaner energy sources in the region. Transco Zone 3 is expected to hold a premium over Zone 2 due to its increased capacity and demand for gas in the area.
