NEW THREAT The NH Pipeline Resistance needs your support to stop pipelines UK Money News Eversource seeks to revive New England Access Northeast natgas pipe "Eversource notified New Hampshire regulators that the company would submit an updated proposal to replace its agreement to purchase capacity on the proposed Access Northeast expansion.That decision came after the New Hampshire Supreme Court in May reversed the state Public Utilities Commission's (PUC) October 2016 decision that did not allow electric customers to pay for pipeline capacity on behalf of power generators. The company that wanted to build the pipeline, Enbridge Inc , suspended development of the $3.2 billion Access Northeast project in the summer of 2017 because courts and regulators in New England were not willing to let electric customers pay for gas capacity on the 0.975-bcfd pipeline expansion that would be used by power generators." |
