What would happen to the plant if the natural gas pipeline were shut down for any reason?
An interconnect to a natural gas pipeline is usually connected to two separate supplies in case one is being serviced. By the way, the supply of reliable, clean natural gas obtained from Pennsylvania itself is growing. Natural gas will be the primary fuel at the plant. If there is a disruption of supply, the plant may have a few days supply of fuel oil on hand, but a final decision has not been made whether to include that feature at this plant. If Tenaska does choose to include the ability to operate on fuel oil, the plant would use light fuel oil that contains an extremely low concentration of sulfur. Of course, the plant will be required to meet all environmental standards while operating on either fuel.
