TC Energy\u2019s precedent agreements fail to demonstrate that the proposed GTN Express pipeline expansion meets section 7(e) of the Natural Gas Act\u2019s requirement that a project \u201cis or will be required by the present or future public convenience and necessity.\u201d<a id=\"_ftnref1\" href=\"#_ftn1\">[<\/a>1]&nbsp;. In fact, the record shows just the opposite: GTN Xpress is neither necessary nor beneficial because it will either increase costs for Oregon and Washington consumers or undermine the laws of Oregon and Washington.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On February 18<sup>th<\/sup>, 2022, the Commission released an Updated Policy Statement on Certification of New Interstate Natural Gas Facilities that recognizes that \u201cthe existence of precedent agreements may not be sufficient in and of themselves to establish need for the project.\u201d On March 24th, 2022, the Commission designated this Policy Statement on Certification of New Interstate Natural Gas Facilities as Draft.<a id=\"_ftnref2\" href=\"#_ftn2\">[2]<\/a> This return to the 1999 standard continues to impede the Commission\u2019s ability to address the disparate impact of natural gas projects on Black, Brown, Indigenous and other frontline communities, and the Commission should act quickly to update its Policy Statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Updated Policy Statement on Certification of New Interstate Natural Gas Facilities is a more accurate reflection of the language and intent of the Natural Gas Act the DC Circuit ruled in Spire that circumstances required the Commission to look behind the precedent agreement when determining whether there was a market need for the pipeline. We believe the facts here require the Commission to undertake a similar analysis of GTN XPress.<a id=\"_ftnref3\" href=\"#_ftn3\">[3]<\/a>&nbsp; When one looks behind the precedent agreements it is clear that TC Energy has failed to demonstrate that there is adequate need for the 150,000 Dth\/d of fossil gas that GTN Xpress would carry, let alone that project benefits outweigh adverse impacts on economic interests.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is no clear justification for, or benefit from, GTN Xpress. TC Energy has entered into a precedent agreement with Tourmaline, a Canadian fossil gas producer that is not seeking to serve ratepayers. The Commission\u2019s own Final Environmental Impact Statement for GTN Xpress said it was unclear where Tourmaline\u2019s gas would be delivered or for what purpose, concluding that \u201cdownstream emissions from Tourmaline\u2019s subscribed capacity are not reasonably foreseeable.\u201d<a id=\"_ftnref4\" href=\"#_ftn4\">[4]<\/a> If Tourmaline\u2019s uses for the fossil gas are too uncertain to assess their environmental impact, it strains credulity that they could serve as the justification for a pipeline expansion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In fact, TC Energy has failed to demonstrate that fossil gas is needed in Oregon and Washington at all. Its sole named customer in Oregon and Washington, Cascade Natural Gas, entered a precedent agreement for 20,000 Dth\/d of gas from GTN Xpress, yet the Washington and Utilities Transportation Commission (WUTC) staff questioned Cascade Natural Gas\u2019s need for the project.<a id=\"_ftnref5\" href=\"#_ftn5\">[5]<\/a> GTN Xpress will likely increase natural gas prices for Oregonians and Washingtonians, and state utility regulators have found that GTN\u2019s proposal is inconsistent with state laws limiting gas use and emissions.<a id=\"_ftnref6\" href=\"#_ftn6\">[6]<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>GTN Xpress is a significant fossil fuel expansion at a time when Oregon and Washington are moving away from fossil fuels. GTN Xpress is simply incompatible with the laws of the states of Oregon and Washington. At the same time, TC Energy has failed to show that there is adequate need for the GTN Xpress.
