A group of House and Senate Republicans penned a letter to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), the nation's top energy regulator, asking it to stop slow-walking approval for a key natural gas project in the Pacific Northwest.
In the letter sent Friday, the eight lawmakers — led by Rep. Lori Chavez-DeRemer, R-Ore., and joined by fellow Oregon GOP Rep. Cliff Bentz, four other House Republicans and Idaho GOP Sens. Mike Crapo and James Risch — called for the immediate approval of the Gas Transmission Northwest XPress Project (GTNXP). The project would upgrade three existing compressor stations, increasing capacity on an existing system that has transported natural gas for decades.
