Kinder Morgan Los Angeles Fuel Pipelines Resume Operations After Wildfire Power Outages
(Reuters) — Kinder Morgan Inc. said two of its Los Angeles fuel pipelines returned to service on Friday, after being shut down since Jan. 8 due to power outages caused by the most destructive wildfires in the city's history.
The 515-mile SFPP West pipeline, which delivers fuel to Arizona, and the 566-mile Calnev line, which delivers to Nevada, had not been directly impacted by the fires, Kinder Morgan said on Thursday.
The power station fueling Kinder Morgan's Calnev pipeline was restored and gasoline was moving normally into southern Nevada on Friday, officials from Clark County, Nevada, posted on social media.
Both pipelines also deliver fuel to various markets within California. The outages prompted the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department to fill up its vehicles as a precautionary measure on Thursday, while city officials asked residents to reconsider their driving plans in light of the disruptions.
There was some progress in controlling the wildfires in Los Angeles on Friday, helped by a pause in the fierce winds super-charging them, although strong gusts are set to return next week.
Southern California Edison, the largest electric utility in Southern California, said it had a total of 278,143 customers without power as of midday Friday. More than half of those were pre-emptive power shutoffs.
