New England Desperately Needs Enbridge’s Algonquin Pipe Expansion

The Algonquin Gas Transmission pipeline (owned by Enbridge) transports up to 3.09 Bcf/d through 1,131 miles of pipeline. Algonquin connects to Texas Eastern Transmission (TETCO), Millennium Pipeline, and Maritimes & Northeast Pipeline and supplies New England with critically needed natural gas supplies for power generation and consumer use. As we told you two weeks ago, Enbridge is conducting an open season to gauge interest in expanding Algonquin’s capacity to flow more gas into New England --- mainly from the Marcellus/Utica --- called Project Maple (see Enbridge Open Season to Expand Algonquin Pipe in New England). Let's take a closer look at how New England would benefit from this pipeline's expansion and the prospects of whether or not it can actually happen.
