Massachusetts Attorney General Seeks Deeper Review of Need for Natural Gas Projects in Constrained Area
S&P Global reported: The Massachusetts attorney general wants the US Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to delve deeper into whether a small Tennessee Gas Pipeline expansion is needed and how it would impact the state’s ability to meet its greenhouse gas emissions goals. The filing is another sign states are flexing their muscles in the natural gas permitting process in New England, where a sometimes constrained pipeline system coincides with a challenging regulatory climate for projects. At issue is Tennessee’s 261 Upgrade Projects, which target a constraint at compressor stations 260 to 261 on the TGP system, which would aid the shipping of gas to the Boston metropolitan area. low data compiled by S&P Global Platts shows the segment running at or near capacity on peak demand days, climbing above 1 Bcf/d at times out of a capacity of 1.1 Bcf/d.
