or either one of them the undersigned's true and lawful attorney-in-fact
and agent to complete and execute such Forms 144, Forms 3, 4 and 5,

in order to file such forms with the Securities and Exchange Commission, any
securities exchange or national association, the Corporation and such other
person or agency as the attorney shall deem appropriate.  The undersigned
hereby ratifies and confirms all that said attorneys-in-fact and agents shall

Merger, Equitable will transfer to New EQT all of the assets and liabilities
of existing Equitable other than those associated with Equitable's existing
Equitable Gas Company division (the "Asset/Liability Transfer").  By signing
below, the undersigned hereby acknowledges and agrees that upon the
Asset/Liability Transfer, the reference in the first paragraph to Equitable
Resources, Inc. shall be deemed to be a reference to New EQT and this Limited
Power of Attorney shall remain in full force and effect, unless earlier
revoked by the undersigned in a signed writing delivered to the foregoing
attorneys-in-fact.
	This Limited Power of Attorney is executed at Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
as of the date set forth below.
