Nassau County
FLORIDA NATURAL GAS EXPANSION PROJECT | Completed
Driven by strong demand from local businesses and increased awareness of the many benefits of natural gas, this expansion project addressed the needs of companies looking to expand into the area.
The project was a partnership between Peninsula Pipeline (PPC), TECO Peoples Gas and Florida Public Utilities (FPU). PPC and TECO Peoples Gas jointly own the primary transmission pipeline from the Duval/Nassau County line through Nassau County terminating at the Rock Tenn paper mill on Amelia Island. TECO Peoples Gas serves Rock Tenn. PPC and FPU serve all other Nassau County customers.
This expansion project brought abundant, clean and economical natural gas to this area, which previously did not have access. This project, and others like it, display unity within the natural gas industry in joining forces to provide an economic development engine to underserved areas.
