Open House
Gas Transmission Northwest LLC
You are invited to attend an open house to
learn more about the proposed Carty Lateral
Project in Morrow County. Gas Transmission
Northwest LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of
TransCanada (a leading North American energy
infrastructure company) proposes to build a 20-
to 25-mile natural gas pipeline lateral to serve
an electric generating facility being proposed
by Portland General Electric.
The proposed pipeline lateral would extend from
GTN's existing mainline near lone northward
to the PGE plant site. The lateral as proposed
would be capable of transporting approximately
200 million cubic feet a day (MMcf/d) of natural
gas to make electricity to serve PGE's 800,000
customers. The natural gas could come from
Canada and the U.S. Rockies.
GTN is committed to working
with those who live and work
along the potential pipeline
routes. This open house is an
opportunity for you to learn
more about the project, the
potential routes, schedule,
environmental fieldwork
and design and to gather
your feedback.
