Background

The Vector Pipeline is operated by Vector Pipeline L.P., which is owned by Enbridge (60%) and DTE Energy (40%). In October 2014 Vector Pipeline proposed expanding the pipeline with a 42-in. OD loop that would increase the pipeline's capacity to 1.3 bcfd, and modifying the pipeline so that gas could flow bidirectionally. In February 2015 it was reported that the plan to expand the pipeline and reverse the flow had been abandoned.
