St. Paul — CHS Inc. announced on Nov. 19 that it has completed construction of a propane terminal in Biddeford, Maine, in time to meet growing demand for the upcoming home heating season. “CHS invested in this terminal as an important step in fulfilling our company’s aspiration to expand our energy platform, meet customers’ needs, and add value to our member-owners,” said Drew Combs, vice president, CHS Propane. “Our goal with the new terminal is to help retailers successfully serve New England homeowners and businesses with a safe, reliable, and competitively priced supply of propane primarily from North American sources.” Served by Pan Am Railways, the new terminal began serving customers on Nov. 12 with two loading bays and 180,000 gallons of storage. CHS said the new terminal is one of several recent initiatives to increase its supply assets, including securing a multiyear marketing agreement for more than 80 million gallons a year from a large gas plant facility in North Dakota, and securing additional company-owned railcar loading assets to strengthen its overall supply capability. Other partners in the project include property owner Westfield Inc., Kennebunk, Maine, and Champagne’s Energy, Arundel, Maine, a CHS customer that will be providing operating services.
