America’s ±«Óãtv Pipeline Network

Pipelines transport natural gas from producers to consumers, providing critical energy needed to heat our homes, cook our food, fuel our factories, and generate electricity. Natural gas is a domestically produced, affordable, and foundational fuel source that the U.S. will rely on for decades to come, and natural gas and its related infrastructure are critical to a reliable, secure, and affordable clean energy future.

Delivering Clean Energy for the Future

About Pipelines

Pipelines are the safest, most reliable, and most affordable way to deliver natural gas to consumers across the country. Pipelines work like a clean energy highway that moves natural gas from where it is produced to where it is consumed. Approximately one-third of energy consumed in the U.S. travels through natural gas infrastructure. We make safety our first priority on each and every project to ensure a safe and reliable energy highway.

FERC

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission is the lead federal agency responsible for the review and approval of interstate natural gas pipelines and is one of INGAA’s principal federal regulators. Under Section 7 of the ±«Óãtv Act, FERC must determine that new interstate gas pipeline projects or expansions are in “the public convenience and necessity” in order to approve them.

Natural gas production will remain critical to ensure sufficient, reliable and affordable power. And for natural gas to do its job, we must bolster our natural gas transportation network. The U.S. cannot continue to delay new pipeline construction and expect power grids across the nation to remain stable and reliable.

INGAA President & CEO Amy Andryszak and Boardwalk Pipelines President & CEO Scott Hallam in The Richmond Times Dispatch on the need to build out natural gas infrastructure to meet

To meet America’s future energy needs, we need to build more infrastructure – from pipelines and power lines to power plants and offshore wind. Congress must take action update the federal statutes which would reform the permitting process to build essential energy infrastructure in America. Leveraging our abundant, affordable energy resources is how America stays ahead in the global economy.
