Williams Cos (ISIN US9694571004) has filed for the 88-mile Silver Spur natural gas pipeline, a proposed expansion that could add up to 275 MMcf/d to its Northwest Pipeline system by 2030. The filing was reported on October 22, 2026, by Pipeline & Gas Journal and independently described by The Daily Chronicle.

Silver Spur adds capacity

The proposed line would connect two existing transmission lines in Idaho and Nevada. Its planned capacity of up to 275 MMcf/d would serve the Northwest, where electricity demand is rising and data centers are increasing pressure on power infrastructure.

Williams filed the application with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission in September, according to both reports. The project would therefore enter a regulatory process that includes federal review, public meetings and comment periods before construction could begin.

What does the project add?

Silver Spur is part of the larger proposed Rockies Columbia Connector system. That wider plan also includes a nearly 160-mile expansion in Washington and the 137-mile Valley Trail pipeline in Grant County. Together, the projects could deliver nearly 1 Bcf/d of additional gas, while the existing Northwest Pipeline system covers 4,000 miles from the Rocky Mountain states through Idaho, Washington and Oregon.

The project remains a proposal rather than an operating asset. The Daily Chronicle reported that environmental groups have questioned whether data centers are driving much of the regional demand, while Williams has said the expansion is intended to meet growing electricity needs.
