Project Overview
The Albert Lea North E-line Expansion Project will allow Northern to accommodate customer requests for firm natural gas transportation capacity along Northern's existing pipeline system. To meet this request, Northern is proposing to construct and operate an approximately 1.5-mile extension of its 36-inch-diameter Ventura Interconnect to Farmington E-line in Freeborn and Steele counties in Minnesota.
Northern plans to conduct open houses during two different time slots May 12, 2022 (see details below); invitations have been mailed to landowners and local officials. A public notice also will be published in the local newspapers providing details on the open houses.

Northern plans to file a prior notice request with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission in July 2022 requesting project approval. Northern is anticipating that approval for the project, subject to Commission review, will occur in September 2022. The pipeline facilities are scheduled to be placed into service November 1, 2023.
