Nov 25 (LNGJ) - National Grid, the UK network operator and owner of the Isle of Grain LNG import terminal in Kent, has received a boost for its US natural gas business by reaching an agreement with the State of New York to immediately lift a moratorium on connecting downstate customers.
“This agreement also provides the necessary framework for resolving the longer-term energy supply issues,” said the UK company. “Within three months, National Grid has committed to present options to meet New York's long-term gas supply needs,” it added in reference to the possible construction of a new pipeline backed by National Grid.
The Northeast Supply Enhancement project of Williams Company would transport about 400 million cubic feet per day of gas from Pennsylvania to New York, enough to supply about 2.3 million homes.
