Gas emergency funding eases National Fuel crisis
National Fuel Gas said it secured 37 million cubic feet daily of emergency gas from the West Coast for seven days via Texas Eastern, to be repaid within 30 days. Tennessee Gas holds 30 million cubic feet on standby. Extension of emergency curtailments to midnight Wednesday follows a power failure at a Buffalo SN gas plant, heightening peak-load worries. Residential customers are not planned for shutoffs, and schools may reopen by next Thursday while Erie area districts likely close through February 10.
