Iroquois Enhancement by Compression (ExC) project (click for larger version)
You can include this in one of the Lesser Miracles. Last Friday, at the direction of New York Governor Kathy Hochul, her Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) approved permits to expand two Hudson Valley compressor stations along the Iroquois gas pipeline. The Iroquois Gas Transmission’s Enhancement by Compression (ExC) project will increase horsepower at three compression stations — two in New York and one in Connecticut — by an extra 125 MMcf/d, to flow more Marcellus/Utica gas into New York City and New England. The two NY compressor expansions include one in Dover and one in Athens. The CT compressor expansion is located in Brookfield. Another CT compressor will get minor upgrades (gas cooling, no extra compression) in Milford. The DEC approved the permits for the NY compressors *if* Iroquois pays $1.5 million to the “Disadvantaged Community Benefit Program.”
