Missouri Public Service Commission

JEFFERSON CITY---The Missouri Public Service Commission has approved an application filed by Roeslein Alternative Energy Services, LLC (RAES) which sought a waiver of a Commission rule regarding gas pressure and odorization requirements in the operation of a natural gas transmission line in Sullivan and Mercer Counties.

RAES sought a waiver of the requirement under a Commission rule that sets the gas pressurization limit of 100 psig. The waiver would allow a maximum allowable operating pressure of 125 psig for the construction of an intrastate gas transmission pipeline segment that would transport renewable gas from the Locust Ridge Farm in Sullivan County to a point of injection on an existing RAES pipeline in Mercer County (the Badger-Wolf to ANR Pipeline). RAES also requested a waiver of a Commission rule regarding regulating gas odorization for the same segment of line.

In a filing with the Commission, the Public Service Commission Staff (Staff) recommended the application be approved with conditions.

“The Commission has reviewed and considered RAES’ application and Staff’s recommendation (with all subsequent corrections) and determines waiver of the gas pressurization and gas odorization requirements, with Staff’s proposed conditions as corrected, will not compromise gas safety,” said the Commission. “The Commission will grant the waiver request with conditions, as recommended by Staff.”
