(Fri, 23 Sep 2011) Natural gas flows on the Ruby Pipeline (Ruby) have ramped up rapidly since the start of commercial operations on July 28, 2011. Ruby, a new natural gas pipeline that links Wyoming natural gas supplies mainly to markets in California, currently delivers about 0.8 billion cubic per day (Bcfd) of natural gas to an interconnect with Pacific Gas & Electric—the major distributor of natural gas and retail power in Northern California—and provides about 30% of PG&E’s 2.5 Bcfd of average daily system supply of natural gas.
