Chesapeake Utilities has announced that it has secured approval for three natural gas projects from the US Florida Public Service Commission. 

These initiatives, led by subsidiary Peninsula Pipeline Company (PPC), are set to enhance the natural gas distribution system operated by Florida City Gas (FCG), also part of Chesapeake Utilities.  

The projects, with a combined capital investment of $46m, are set for completion in the first half (H1) of 2025. 

Chesapeake Utilities said the approved projects will introduce renewable natural gas from local landfills into the FCG’s distribution system, bolstering supply and reliability while supporting growth in Brevard, Indian River, and Miami-Dade counties.  

The Brevard County initiative will see the construction of 8km of new transmission infrastructure, representing a $6m investment.  

The Indian River County project, costing $18m, will interconnect three transmission systems and add 3,200 Dekatherms of gas per day.

Miami-Dade County will benefit from an additional 6,700 Dekatherms of gas per day of capacity through a $22m investment in 12.8km of new infrastructure. 

Concurrently, the Florida Public Service Commission has approved the transfer of the Pioneer Supply Pipeline asset from FCG to PPC. 

Chesapeake Utilities senior vice-president and chief development officer Kevin Webber said: “These renewable natural gas infrastructure projects further demonstrate Chesapeake Utilities’ commitment to both growth and sustainability.  

“These projects use methane that would otherwise escape into the environment and allow this renewable, locally sourced gas to be transported into our system for the beneficial use of our customers.”
