Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission this week denied petitions to reevaluate the project that delivers gas from Canada to the Northwest and northern California.

Federal officials have approved expansion of a natural gas pipeline that runs from British Columbia to the Oregon-California border.

A major new energy storage facility for the Northwest is one step closer to being built, with federal regulators releasing new documents outlining some of the impacts of the Goldendale Energy Storage Project in south-central Washington – including likely damage to sacred Indigenous sites.

The U.S. government has taken a step toward approving the expansion of a natural gas pipeline in the Pacific Northwest. It's a move opposed by environmentalists and the states of Oregon, California and Washington.
