Iroquois Gas Transmission

Developing new natural gas pipeline capacity in the Northeast isn’t easy. Environmental rules are tough, local citizens are well-organized, and—in New England in particular—the electricity market structure is not, shall we say, pipeline development-friendly. Still, with gas needs in the region rising, and all that Marcellus gas close at hand, midstream companies are doggedly and creatively pursuing pipeline projects, and making some headway. Today, we update efforts to advance the Constitution Pipeline, the Northeast Energy Direct project, and Access Northeast, all of which are planned to help move Marcellus gas into the heart of New England.
