BISMARCK, N.D., Oct. 20, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- WBI Energy, Inc.'s Wahpeton Expansion project was approved on Thursday by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. This authorizes the company to construct and operate a natural gas pipeline expansion in eastern North Dakota, which will provide more natural gas to customers in Wahpeton and extend natural gas service to Kindred. "Reliable natural gas service supports economic development and is a critical heating fuel in the region." For the project, WBI Energy will construct approximately 60 miles of 12-inch natural gas pipeline and ancillary facilities to Wahpeton from an existing compressor station at Mapleton, North Dakota. Demand for natural gas service currently exceeds the current volume of gas that can be delivered on an uninterruptible basis to the city through the existing transmission pipeline.
