How was the City of Green River chosen as Dominion Energy Utah’s third natural gas expansion project?

Multiple rural communities are being surveyed to determine their interest in natural gas. All potential communities have been evaluated according to:

• Project cost
• The number of potential new customers
• The impact on current Dominion Energy Utah operations and current infrastructure

Dominion is considering extending service to Green River. If natural gas is extended to this town, approximately 450 homes and businesses could receive natural gas service. Dominion anticipates that natural gas service would also help the area’s expected and potential growth.

When will construction begin?

This project will be the third to be proposed under House Bill 422. If the Utah Public Service Commission grants approval of the project, construction would start in early to mid-2023, with an in-service date of late 2023. This project will include the construction of 14.5 miles of new natural gas pipeline and a distribution network. Preliminary routing is underway.

If I live in Green River and want to get natural gas, how do I find out more about this project?

If you are interested in receiving natural gas, please fill out the interest form before April 23, 2021, attend one of the upcoming virtual public meetings or view the recording of our presentation if you missed the meeting (coming soon).

Will Dominion Energy Utah expand natural gas to other cities who need it?

The company views rural expansion under House Bill 422 as an ongoing program with each project subject to Utah Public Service Commission approval.
