- Increased supply facilitates conversions from oil heat to gas heat while supplying new construction with natural gas instead of #2 fuel oil
- Supports the intermittency of renewable energy sources
Connecticut
- Complements the state’s zero-carbon initiatives and pursuit of off-shore wind resources
- Reduces price volatility and lowers fuel prices for gas and electric utilities
- Enhances electric grid reliability and resiliency with additional compression that enables fast start and quick ramping during peak periods
Mutual Benefits
- Additional capacity with no new pipeline
- Reduction in life cycle GHG emissions and air pollution
- Increased property tax revenue for host communities
- Construction jobs and boost to local economy during construction
- Project related Community Grants
The ExC Project filed a formal application with the FERC in late January 2020, and received approval on March 25, 2022.
The FERC, as lead federal agency, made an assessment of the project from an environmental standpoint and issued a determination that the proposed project is within the public convenience and necessity. Additional information on the FERC process can be found at www.ferc.gov and by viewing the brochure: Your Guide to Electronic Information at FERC
Upon receiving all necessary permits, including state air permits, construction activities for this project are expected to begin by fall 2024/spring 2025. These activities will include mobilization of personnel and equipment, site preparation, and installation and testing of new compressor and gas cooling facilities. Construction should be completed by November 1, 2025.
