Today's News=09 Allegheny Energy Supply Company, Salt River Project and Sempra Energy Res= ources Announce Open Season for Proposed Desert Crossing Gas Storage and T= ransportation System [IMAGE] [IMAGE] [IMAGE] [IMAGE] PHOENIX, Jan. = 10 /PRNewswire/ -- The Desert Crossing Gas Storage and Transportation Syste= m (Desert Crossing) is holding an Open Season for customers interested in c= apacity, beginning today and extending through Feb. 8, 2002. Open Seaso= n is a process in which customers interested in acquiring natural gas stora= ge capacity in a storage facility, and/or transmission capacity on a pipeli= ne, submit bids setting out the terms under which they will agree to purcha= se the capacity. Upon completion of the project, the Desert Crossing sy= stem will include a 10 billion cubic foot, high-deliverability natural gas = storage complex and associated pipeline, located in the Hualapai Valley, no= rth of Kingman, Arizona. The associated pipeline, spanning roughly 300 mil= es from outside of Las Vegas to Southwestern Arizona, is projected to be an= 800 million cubic feet per day system that will connect the storage comple= x with all of the major interstate natural gas pipelines in Arizona and sou= thern Nevada (see map of proposed system at http://www.desert-crossing.com = ). Project sponsors Allegheny Energy Supply Company, the generation and= trading subsidiary of Allegheny Energy, Inc. (NYSE: AYE ); Salt River Proj= ect (SRP); and Sempra Energy Resources, a unit of Sempra Energy (NYSE: SRE = ), said that Desert Crossing will provide a consumer-driven, market-respons= ive storage and pipeline system to serve the growing needs of the southwest= ern United States for power and peak period gas supplies. Limitations on na= tural gas transportation and storage in Arizona and southern Nevada, along = with past and projected increases in gas demand by consumers in the region,= have resulted in market conditions that make this storage and pipeline pro= ject attractive. "As proposed, this project with its north-south pipeli= ne configuration will be uniquely situated to increase shippers' and consum= ers' options for sourcing natural gas and to provide new transportation cap= acity to the Arizona and southern Nevada markets," commented Michael Morrel= l, president, Allegheny Energy Supply Company. "The increased storage and t= ransportation capacity will enhance energy reliability at cost-effective pr= ices, which is good news for consumers and shippers of natural gas." S= RP's associate general manager of power, construction & engineering, David = Areghini, concurred. "As we continue to diversify our fuel sources by addi= ng new gas-fired power plants, it is important that we increase our ability= to obtain the necessary amount of natural gas supplies. The Desert Crossi= ng project will help ensure an economical and clean energy source for consu= mers and others in the Southwest for many years." "The additional natur= al gas supplies will help balance the region's escalating energy demands, e= specially those of electric generators, as well as provide the potential to= help reduce future price spikes in the Southwest," said Dwain Boettcher, v= ice president of planning and analysis for Sempra Energy Resources. "The ho= urly scheduling flexibility built into the proposed tariff was designed to = transform the way storage service is offered in the future." Customers = participating in the Open Season and awarded capacity will have unprecedent= ed flexibility with respect to gaining access to the markets and diverse ga= s supplies in the Southwest. These customers will be able to optimize thei= r portfolios, because Desert Crossing will be situated at the Southwest's e= nergy crossroads. The project is subject to obtaining all necessary reg= ulatory approvals and sufficient commitments from third parties during the = Open Season. Project scope and costs will be announced at the conclusion of= the Open Season.
