Williams Partners L.P. has placed the remaining capacity of its Northeast supply link into service, after bringing half the capacity into service three months ahead of schedule in response to customer demands. The project marks the first major expansion of the Transco natural gas pipeline, designed specifically to connect Marcellus natural gas supply with Northeastern markets.

The expansion provides 250 000 Dt/day of incremental firm natural gas transportation capacity from Marcellus supplies direct to nearby customers in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and New York. The total expansion is delivering enough natural gas to provide service to approximately 1 million homes.
