HOUSTON, Apr. 7 -- Duke Energy Gas Transmission (DEGT) plans to expand capacity of its Texas Eastern Transmission system from Lebanon, Ohio, to New Jersey by up to 150,000 dekatherms/day.

Plus it said it is studying the potential for hub-based services at Lebanon.

The expansion includes adding 10 miles of pipeline at two locations in Ohio, 21 miles of pipeline at three locations in Pennsylvania, and 30,000 hp of compression at two locations in Pennsylvania, subject to final approval from the US Federal Energy Regulatory Commission.

The project will provide phased-in capacity for PSEG Power LLC and New Jersey Natural Gas, which have signed binding long-term transportation commitments.

The project's initial in-service date is scheduled for late 2007.
