UGI Energy Services LLC, a midstream subsidiary of UGI Corporation, has celebrated the beginning of construction of its Sunbury pipeline. The organisation held a ceremony near the Panda Hummel Station power plant, which it will serve.

The event hosted several public officials and community leaders who praised the project and its benefits to the region.

UGI Energy Services鶹ýӳ President, Brad Hall, welcomed approximately 100 guests to the ceremony and stated that he is pleased to be a part of a partnership with Panda Power Funds in a project that will ensure cleaner power generation and create jobs for central Pennsylvania.

鶹ýӳThe Sunbury pipeline project represents an incremental step forward for Pennsylvania鶹ýӳs natural gas infrastructure and a major step forward for Pennsylvania鶹ýӳs energy future,鶹ýӳ Hall said.

Gladys M. Brown, Chairman of the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission, stressed the importance of new pipeline capacity, such as the Sunbury pipeline, to transport local energy to Pennsylvanian families and businesses.

鶹ýӳPennsylvania continues to set new records in natural gas production, breaking 4.6 trillion ft3 last year. Projects like the Sunbury pipeline provide new capacity to leverage that record production,鶹ýӳ Chairman Brown said.

He added: 鶹ýӳthe Sunbury pipeline project will not only help bring more local energy to local users, but also help meet our clean power goals by fueling efficient natural gas-fired electric generation.鶹ýӳ

Joe Lloyd, Vice President of Operations for Panda Power Funds, emphasised what the Sunbury pipeline means for Panda鶹ýӳs mission to generate clean, natural gas-fueled electricity.

鶹ýӳPanda is thrilled to be constructing one of the largest coal to natural gas power replacement projects in the US, which would not be possible without the Sunbury pipeline,鶹ýӳ Lloyd said. 鶹ýӳAlong with UGI, we鶹ýӳre pleased to be contributing to the local economy through our project鶹ýӳs construction and future operation, and proud of what both the pipeline and Hummel Station mean for Pennsylvania鶹ýӳs long-term energy reliability and economic growth.鶹ýӳ
