Great Basin Gas Transmission Company 2026 Expansion Project FERC Docket No. CP25-209-000 Great Basin Gas Transmission Company (“Great Basin”), formerly Paiute Pipeline Company, is a natural gas company primarily engaged in the business of transporting and storing natural gas flowing in interstate commerce. Great Basin owns and operates an interstate pipeline system which extends from a point on the Idaho-Nevada border to the California-Nevada state line, near the north and south ends of Lake Tahoe. In addition, Great Basin operates an LNG peak shaving storage facility near Lovelock, NV. On April 15, 2025, Great Basin filed an application with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (“FERC”) for a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity authorizing Great Basin to expand the capacity of its existing interstate pipeline system by 8,129 Dekatherms per day (Dth/d). The Project, referred to as the 2026 Expansion Project, will require Great Basin to replace approximately 2.35 miles of existing steel pipe with larger diameter steel pipe and install approximately 2.32 miles of new steel pipeline loop in two locations along Great Basin’s existing Carson Lateral near Wadsworth/Fernley, and Silver Springs, Nevada. Great Basin is working with government agencies to obtain all necessary permits in a timely manner. Construction of the pipeline facilities is scheduled to begin on or about May 1, 2026, and be completed by November 1, 2026. Construction would commence soon after permits and agency approvals have been granted. The time frame is subject to change depending on the FERC action and other developments. The facilities will be installed in easements and rights-of-way from private and public landowners. Great Basin will engage in good faith negotiations with the intention of compensating landowners fairly for the use of their land, necessary for the construction of the new pipeline facilities. The FERC has a brochure that explains the FERC’s certificate process and addresses the basic concerns of landowners. The brochure, entitled “An Interstate Natural Gas Facility on My Land? What Do I Need to Know?” is available on the FERC’s website at https://www.ferc.gov/ sites/default/files/2020-04/AnInterstateNatualGasFacility.WhatYouNeedToKnow.pdf In addition, the FERC’s Landowner Helpline is available at 1-877-337-2237 or LandownerHelp@ ferc.gov to answer any further questions about the procedures associated with the certificate process.
