California Markets Battle Looms In Federal Hearing
Oral arguments before the Federal Power Commission target whether El Paso Natural Gas and Transwestern Pipe Line can advance a 1800 mile westward pipeline project. Houston based Transwestern seeks to ship 1.9 billion cubic feet daily to California via Texas and New Mexico, while rival lines would connect with Pacific Lighting Gas Co and Los Angeles Pacific. El Paso argues for access to the vital southern California market amid resistance from California utilities and regulatory scrutiny over future gas supplies and pricing.
