Vectren Engages as Founding Partner in EPA’s STAR Methane Challenge Program Evansville, Ind.-Vectren Energy Delivery (Vectren) announced today that it has committed to serve as a founding partner in the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Natural Gas STAR Methane Challenge Program. The voluntary program provides a new mechanism through which oil and natural gas companies can make and track commitments to reduce methane emissions. The program will provide a platform for partners to showcase their efforts to reduce methane emissions, which is important to reduce overall greenhouse gas output. The EPA identified best measurement practices from which a company could choose to voluntarily participate. Vectren is committing to the employment of best measurement practices with respect to the following:   

Cast Iron and Unprotected Steel Main Replacements, Cast Iron and Unprotected Steel Service Replacements, and Excavation Damages

“Each year, we consistently invest in our gas infrastructure to ensure we maintain a safe, reliable system,” said Carl Chapman, Vectren’s chairman, president and CEO. “Over the next decade, this labor-intensive work will increase as federal regulations raise safety standards even higher ensuring the natural gas industry continues its excellent safety track record. In addition to ensuring the continued delivery of safe and reliable service, an added benefit from these efforts is the reduction of methane emissions, which is a win for customers and the environment.” Vectren will commit to replacing cast iron and unprotected steel natural gas mains at a rate of 5 percent, or roughly 42 miles, per year. Since 2008, Vectren has replaced nearly 700 miles with new modern plastic pipeline throughout its 74-county natural gas service area in Indiana and west central Ohio. The EPA is officially launching the Methane Challenge Program with founding partners, including Vectren, today in Washington, DC in conjunction with the Global Methane Forum being held at Georgetown University. Vectren is one of 40 gas utilities in the nation, which represent nearly 70% of the natural gas customers in the United States that have signed on to be a founder of the Methane Challenge initiative.
