Northern Natural Gas (NNG) is a natural gas pipeline that brings gas from the Permian Basin in Texas to the Chicago area, Wisconsin, Minnesota and the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.[1] It is owned by Berkshire Hathaway Energy.[2] Its FERC code is 59.[1]
In January 2017 Northern Natural Gas received approval from FERC to build a 2.0 mile extension in Sherburne County, MN, and a 2.8 mile extension of the pipeline in Isanti, County, MN.[3] The 2.0 mile extension was completed and placed in service in July 2017 and the 2.8 mile extension was completed and placed in service in October 2017.[4] The two extensions increased the pipeline's capacity by 76 mcfd.[3]
Northern Natural Gas is planning to apply in July 2018 to further extend the pipeline and increase capacity. The "Northern Lights 2019" expansion will consist of: (1) 9.9 miles of 24-inch-diameter greenfield pipeline, (2) 13.5 miles of branch line and mainline loops/extensions ranging in size from 6-inch- to 36-inch-diameter pipeline; (3) additional compression at Northern’s existing Faribault and Owatonna compressor stations; and (4) a new compressor station located near Carver, Minnesota.[5]
