Temporary emergency shipment of propane from Texas to the Midwest has been approved by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC).
The pipeline company asking for the action said “record demand for propane is due to an unusual coincident increase in heating demand, resulting from unseasonably cold weather in the region, and crop drying demand.”
There were no comments or protests filed on the request and FERC determined the matter is accepted effective November 13.
In addition, FERC announced it will “initiate an alternative dispute resolution (ADR) process with pipeline companies, shippers and their representatives to explore actions FERC and industry can take to alleviate propane pipeline constraints in the Midwest.”
