Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
[Docket No. RP21-1058-000]
EQT Energy, LLC v. Texas Eastern Transmission, LP; Notice of
Complaint
Take notice that on August 27, 2021, pursuant to Section 5 of the
Natural Gas Act \1\ and Rule 206 of the Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission's (Commission) Rules of Practice and Procedure, 18 CFR
385.206 (2020), EQT Energy, LLC (Complainant or EQT Energy) filed a
formal complaint against Texas Eastern Transmission, LP (Respondent or
Texas Eastern), alleging that recent service cuts on Respondent's 30
Inch System caused by a 20 percent operating pressure reduction
required by order of the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety
Administration did not constitute an event of force majeure, and
therefore Texas Eastern's refusal to provide EQT Energy with the
appropriate reservation charge credits, as required by the pipeline's
tariff, is unjust and unreasonable and contrary to Commission policy
and precedent, all as more fully explained in its complaint.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ 15 U.S.C. 717d.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Complainant certifies that copies of the complaint were served
on the contacts listed for Respondent in the Commission's list of
Corporate Officials.
Any person desiring to intervene or to protest this filing must
file in accordance with Rules 211 and 214 of the Commission's Rules of
Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.211, 385.214). Protests will be
considered by the Commission in determining the appropriate action to
be taken but will not serve to make protestants parties to the
proceeding. Any person wishing to become a party must file a notice of
intervention or motion to intervene, as appropriate. The Respondent's
answer and all interventions, or protests must be filed on or before
the comment date. The Respondent's answer, motions to intervene, and
protests must be served on the Complainant.
The Commission strongly encourages electronic filings of comments,
protests and interventions in lieu of paper using the ``eFiling'' link
