The Northern Natural Gas Pipeline project can start this year: Minister of Energy

Energy Minister Chris Wright He said on Friday that working on a proposed pipeline to bring natural gas via New York to help save energy to New England can start by the end of this year.

Wright said in the appearance on the Fox Business Niter network “Morning with Maria” He believes that it is “very probably” to advance the constitutional pipeline, along with other unlimited pipelines, forward this year.

The constitutional pipeline will take natural gas from Pennsylvania to a center near Albani, New York, where it will be directed through other pipelines to New England. The project was banned in 2020 by New York State when the company rejected the necessary permits amid opposition to environmental activists.

“It is just a victory, a victory, a victory,” Wright said. ” “It may also reduce electricity prices, which, of course, will chant it as well, and allow companies in New England or in the New York City area to expand their business and develop more jobs.”

“No one is losing this, but the ridiculous policy several years ago stopped this tour in the first round. But I think it is very likely that these pipelines will be under construction before the end of this year,” said Wright.

The CEO of Williams Alan Armstrong, whose company was forced to retreat from the project in 2020, said last month that the project could return to the table – but only if the regional conservatives were supportive.

Wright’s comments come before a meeting between the president Donald Trump New York Governor Cathy Hochol, Democrat.
