Golden Triangle Storage, Inc., a subsidiary of AGL Resources , filed an application with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) on June 29, 2007, requesting a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity to construct and operate a proposed underground natural gas storage project with market-based rates. The project is located on the southern edge of Beaumont in Jefferson County, Texas.

The company plans to initially offer up to 12 billion cubic feet (Bcf) of working gas capacity in two caverns and, depending on market demand, could gradually enlarge the two caverns' capacity up to 16 Bcf in the future. The company also will build a nine-mile natural gas pipeline heading northeast from the storage site into Orange County to connect the storage facility with six interstate and intrastate pipelines.

Golden Triangle Storage expects to obtain regulatory permits to begin construction in early 2008. The first salt dome cavern is slated to begin commercial operations in late 2010 to early 2011, with a second cavern online in 2013.

"We completed a successful non-binding open season with prospective customers at the end of May and the FERC filing represents another significant milestone in the project's development," said Dana Grams, president of Pivotal Energy Development, the AGL Resources' department overseeing the Golden Triangle Storage project. "This facility is expected to enhance the region's growing energy infrastructure at a critical natural gas crossroads."

Project details can be found on the company's Web site at http://www.goldentrianglestorage-texas.com/. Copies of the certificate application will be available on the FERC Web site at http://www.ferc.gov/ as well as at public libraries in Beaumont (main library), Port Arthur, Vidor, Nederland and Orange, Texas.

Additional information is available on the FERC Web site, including a brochure titled "An Interstate Natural Gas Facility on My Land?" and information on landowner rights.
