Consumers Energy Files Motion Against Trunkline Gas to Prevent Pipeline Closure

Consumers Energy filed a motion today with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) protesting a proposed "abandonment" filing made by Trunkline Gas Co. to cease transporting natural gas through one of its two main transmission pipelines serving Michigan.   The filing made by Trunkline Gas Co. to cease transporting natural gas through one of its pipelines was also opposed in separate filings by Governor Rick Snyder and the Michigan Public Service Commission.
