Item 2.06 Material Impairments.
On July 1, 2020, the Board of Directors of Spire Inc. (“Spire”), based upon the recommendation of our senior management, revised the development plan for Spire Storage West LLC (“Spire Storage”). As a result of the revised development plan, we expect to record impairment charges related to Spire Storage assets totaling approximately $130 million to $150 million in our fiscal third quarter of 2020.
The revision to our development plan for Spire Storage was driven by the realization that a longer time horizon will be required for optimization and positioning of the storage facility to serve energy markets in the western United States that continue to evolve.
Spire remains committed to serving its customers through the ongoing development and operation of the facility. Such development is expected to include $20 million in capital investment over the next two years to enhance the capabilities of the facility. A FERC application, pursuant to Section 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act, is planned by early fiscal 2021 and is expected to outline a specific path for future development.
