Northeast Energy Center, LLC, plans a $100 million LNG plant in Charlton. (Liberty Energy Trust)

The plan is to connect to the Tennessee Gas Pipeline and chill natural gas into LNG for delivery to businesses and organizations like hospitals that are not connected to a natgas pipeline but want to use this cheaper, cleaner-burning fuel source. Good news: On Sept. 20, the Massachusetts Energy Facilities Siting Board tentatively approved plans for the facility. A final approval may come next week.
