NEWSLINE LATEST INDUSTRY DEVELOPMENTS
Dominion Energy and Duke Energy said in a
news release that "recent developments have
created an unacceptable layer of uncertainty
and anticipated delays" for the 600-mile project,
which was designed to cross West Virginia and
Virginia into North Carolina.
Separately, Dominion, which serves more than
7 million customers in 20 states, announced it
agreed to sell substantially all of its gas transmission and storage assets to an affiliate of Berkshire
Hathaway for $9.7 billion.
Utility Ordered to Pay
$53 Million Fine
for Fatal Pipeline Blasts
Columbia Gas of Massachusetts was ordered to
pay a $53 million criminal fine for violation of
the Pipeline Safety Act when it caused a series

The judge also sentenced the company to
a three-year probation period during which its
operations will be monitored to ensure its complying with safety regulations.
The sentencing came about three months
after the company pleaded guilty in federal court
to causing the blasts. After that plea deal was
announced in February, Eversource said it agreed
to buy Columbia Gas of Massachusetts' natural
gas assets for $1.1 billion. Federal authorities said
the three-year probation period will last until
Columbia Gas is sold.
The plea deal is separate from a $143 million
settlement reached last year with residents and
businesses affected by the blasts.
Authorities blamed the explosions on overpressurized gas lines, saying the company failed
to account for critical pressure sensors as workers
replaced century-old cast-iron pipes in Lawrence.
That omission caused high-pressure gas to
flood the neighborhood's distribution system at
excessive levels.
