Open Season for Desert Crossing Pipeline
 
Allegheny Energy Supply, the Salt River Project, and Sempra Energy Resources which are planning to build a natural gas storage and pipeline system in the Southwest are taking bids from companies for capacity through the system. The open season will last until February 8th, and will gauge industry interest in the proposed Desert Crossing project.  The response will determine the scope of the system, whose initial costs are likely to be $600 - $700 million. The Desert Crossing project, pending regulatory approval, would include a 10 Bcf natural gas storage complex in Arizonaand an 800 MMcf per day pipeline running from near Las Vegasto southwestern Arizona. The 300- mile pipeline system would connect the storage complex with all of the major interstate natural gas pipelines in Arizonaand southern Nevada. The pipeline is expected to be ready for operation by the summer of 2004, while the storage facility would begin incremental service in 2005 with full service forecast in early 2008. The storage complex would allow hourly access to natural gas, permitting customers to tap supplies to meet unexpected surges in demand from power plants. 
 
Presumably this would or could involve gas sourced via Kern RiverGas Transmission near Las Vegasas well as El Pasoand / or Transwestern in Northern Arizonanear the CaliforniaBorder.
