SOUTHWEST RECEIVES SERVICE AREA DETERMINATION FOR NORTHERN LAKE TAHOE AREA AT CALIFORNIA/NEVADA BORDER

摘要

FERC on 3/2/11 granted Southwest Gas Corp. (CP11-35) a service area determination under section 7(f) of the Natural Gas Act (NGA) covering the towns of Kings Beach, California, and Crystal Bay, Nevada. Granting the determination is consistent with the purpose of section 7(f) to permit a local distribution company (LDC) to enlarge or expand its facilities to supply market requirements without further approval, FERC said. “The service area determination will allow for more effective operation and more reliable service to Southwest's customers.”
