NESE's Demise Renews Fear of NY Supply Crunch

摘要

The Northeast Supply Enhancement (NESE)pipeline is unofficially dead,and its sole customer says it will have to find alternative ways to provide gas to New York City and Long Island that will be just as offensive to greens and regional officials.”While we continue to believe in the fundamentals of this project,we will not refile in New Jersey or New York at this time,”said Laura Creekmur,spokeswoman for sponsor Williams.The decision came last week after regulators in the two states again denied permit applications for the $1 billion,23.5 mile pipeline that would have put 400 million cubic feet per day into the National Grid system (NGW Dec.9'19).
