The new pipeline, an extension of Spectra Energy’s Texas Eastern and Algonquin Gas systems, is designed to bring customers in the region 800 million cubic feet per day (mmcf/d) of natural gas supplies, as well as economic and environmental benefits.
New Jersey-New York expansion is a $1.2bn, privately funded expansion of the Texas Eastern Transmission and Algonquin Gas Transmission pipeline systems.
The system includes approximately 20 miles of new pipeline (including about five miles of replacement pipeline); new meter and regulating stations.
Spectra Energy president and CEO Greg Ebel said that successfully completing the pipelineis a testament to secure, permit and execute on large and complex growth projects.
"We’ve built the first natural gas pipeline into Manhattan in more than 40 years, one that will supply the region with safe, affordable, clean, domestic natural gas. Completing this pipeline is a great accomplishment, and one in which our team can take great pride," Ebel added.
