Build Magazine 5 UGI Energy Services Marks Start of Construction for Its Sunbury Pipeline UGI Energy Services President Brad Hall welcomed nearly 100 guests to the ceremony. UGI, he told the gathering, is pleased to be a part of a partnership with Panda Power Funds that will result in cleaner power generation and jobs for central Pennsylvania. “The Sunbury Pipeline Project represents an incremental step forward for Pennsylvania natural gas infrastructure, and a major step forward for Pennsylvania’s energy future,” Hall said. “UGI is excited to continue its more than century-long tradition of putting natural gas to work for Pennsylvania by fueling the state-of-the-art Hummel Station along with enhancing local natural gas supplies.” Gladys M. Brown, Chairman of the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission, stressed the importance of new pipeline capacity such as the Sunbury Pipeline to transport local energy to Pennsylvania families and businesses. “Pennsylvania continues to set new records in natural gas production, breaking 4.6 trillion cubic feet last year. Projects like the Sunbury Pipeline provide new capacity to leverage that record production,” Chairman Brown said. “The Sunbury Pipeline Project will not only help bring more local energy to local users, but also help meet our clean power goals by fueling efficient natural gas-fired electric generation.” State Senator John Gordner, who serves Pennsylvania’s 27th Senatorial District that includes the site of Hummel Station and much of the Pipeline’s route, said the Project’s implications reach well beyond the Greater Susquehanna Valley. “As Senate Majority Whip, I’ve worked with the General Assembly to craft policies to encourage development of this natural resource. Consumers will benefit from the Sunbury Pipeline as it ensures continued reliable generation of electricity to the regional grid, as well as from economical natural gas prices thanks to the new local supply entering the market.” UGI Energy Services LLC, the midstream and energy marketing subsidiary of UGI Corporation, today celebrated the start of construction of its Sunbury Pipeline with a ground-breaking ceremony near the Panda Hummel Station power plant it will serve. The event featured remarks from several public officials and community leaders who praised the Project and its benefits to the region.
