- Unlike some of the other large fossil fuel infrastructure projects, which are being put forward to the investment community by “midstream” companies that build pipelines as the main or a large segment of their business (e.g. TransCanada, Enbridge, Energy Transfer Partners) Dominion Energy and Duke Energy are publicly-traded utility companies, with Dominion in particular having a large local presence and accountability in the community where the pipeline was routed.
- The company cited increased costs for the project due to delays caused by ongoing legal cases, including the suspension of its streamlined “Nationwide Permit 12” by the courts.
