Paiute
Pipeline Company (Paiute), a wholly owned subsidiary of Southwest Gas
Corporation (Southwest Gas), is a natural gas transmission company
subject to the jurisdiction of the Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission (FERC).
In
1963, Southwest Gas brought gas into northern Nevada by constructing a
new natural gas transmission line from the Idaho-Nevada border
southwesterly across the northern tier of the State to the Carson
City/Reno-Sparks area as well as Lake Tahoe. Along the way, mining and
farming communities from Elko to Yerington were converted to natural
gas service.
Paiute
currently operates an 894-mile transmission system extending from the
Idaho-Nevada border to the Nevada-California border. The Paiute system
also includes an LNG peak shaving facility outside of Lovelock,
Nevada.
