PennEast Pipeline Receives Favorable Environmental Review from Regulators
By Jason Cockerham (P&GJ) — The U.S. Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) has released a favorable environmental statement for a revised construction proposal for Enbridge’s PennEast Pipeline. Once completed, the final 118-mile natural gas pipeline project will transport up to 1.1 Bcf/d of gas from the Marcellus Shale play to markets in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and New York. The project has faced regulatory challenges in New Jersey where a state appeals court blocked the company’s attempt to condemn land for the pipeline in which the state held an interest. PennEast has since appealed that decision to the U.S. Supreme Court but the has court put off hearing the decision
