ConEdison Reaches Agreement With Iroquois To Enhance Gas Deliverability For New York City
May 10,2019
ConEdison said that it has executed an agreement with an existing natural gas pipeline to develop and permit, "a rational solution that would provide needed incremental natural gas capacity to the Bronx and parts of Manhattan and Queens."
ConEd said that, under the agreement, Iroquois Gas Transmission System, L.P. would provide increased natural gas capacity to ConEdison’s distribution system that serves New York City by upgrading compression facilities on the Iroquois system. These upgrades will enhance Iroquois’ capability to transport much needed natural gas supplies to ConEdison customers. Subject to the necessary permits and approvals, the incremental capacity could be placed in service by November 2023.
