Energy Company IDs Shippers For Mass.-NH Natural Gas Pipeline
CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — The Texas-based energy company that wants to build a natural gas pipeline through southern New Hampshire into Massachusetts has lined up utilities and other entities to transport the gas.
Kinder Morgan announced Thursday it had commitments from National Grid, Liberty Utilities, Columbia Gas of Massachusetts, Connecticut Natural Gas Corp. and other anchor shippers to transport about 500 million cubic feet of natural gas per day. The pipeline's capacity is from 1.2 billion to 2.2 billion cubic feet of gas per day.
The gas from the Marcellus Shale fields would travel from Wright, New York, to Dracut, Massachusetts.
The Northeast Energy Direct pipeline would stretch across 70 miles of New Hampshire to bring gas to markets in New England that currently have limited pipeline capacity and high costs.
