NY DEC Attempting to Use Draft Reg to Block Iroquois Compressor

The radicals who run the New York Dept. of Environmental Conservation (DEC) are gearing up to block the Iroquois Gas Transmission system from completing its Enhancement by Compression (ExC) project. ExC increases horsepower at three compression stations — two in New York and one in Connecticut — by an extra 125 MMcf/d, flowing more Marcellus/Utica gas into New York City and New England (see Despite Antis’ Best Efforts, More NatGas Coming to New England). The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) approved the project back in 2022 (see Iroquois Gas Enhancement by Compression Project Approved by FERC). Since that time, the DEC has found ways to delay it (see NY DEC Intentionally Delays Permits for Iroquois Compressor Upgrades). And now the DEC is making noise about using a new DRAFT regulation (not even legally adopted yet) to reject ExC. This is pure corruption.
