How was the City of Portage chosen as Dominion Energy Utah’s fifth 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

With Public Service Commission (PSC) approval, Dominion Energy Utah (DEU) has chosen Portage as the next potential community in the Rural Expansion Initiative. If natural gas is extended to this town, approximately 100 homes and businesses could receive natural gas service. Dominion anticipates that natural gas service would also help the areas expected and potential growth.

When will construction begin?

This project will be the fifth to be proposed under House Bill 422. If the Utah Public Service Commission grants approval of the project, construction would start in mid-2025, with an in-service date of late 2025. Preliminary routing is underway.

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.
