Spire Energy, a natural gas firm that supplies 1.7 million homes in Missouri, Alabama, and Mississipi warned customers in an email that a federal review of the STL Pipeline could jeopardize their energy supply.
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) will discuss revoking the pipeline’s permit during a Nov. 18 hearing.
In an email to customers, Spire Energy president Scott Carter wrote that “The STL Pipeline was built to support your energy needs, along with those of more than 650,000 homes and businesses in the St. Louis region,” adding that “Since 2019, this safe, fully operational pipeline has been bringing even more reliable and affordable natural gas to our community. Unfortunately, while the STL Pipeline continues to operate today, it is now in jeopardy.”
The STL Pipeline runs from Illinois to Missouri and received initial FERC approval in 2018, beginning to serve customers in mid-2019.
Poster Comment:
I would not want to campaign as a Democrat in those states if they cut off energy to the people after they had already doubled the price.
