Williams Files Request Asking FERC to Reissue NESE Cert in NY, NJ

President Trump's version of his conversations with New York Governor Kathy Hochul was correct: She caved. Yesterday, pipeline giant Williams filed a 246-page request (below) with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) to expedite the reissuance of a certificate for the Northeast Supply Enhancement (NESE) project, a billion-dollar-plus project designed to increase Transco pipeline capacity and flows of Marcellus gas heading into New York City and other northeastern markets. NESE is one of two projects, along with the Constitution Pipeline, on which Hochul "caved" in a deal with Trump (see White House Claims NY Gov. “Caved” on Pipelines, Hochul Says No). He gave her the right to continue blowing $5 billion on a horrible offshore wind project. In return, Trump secured an agreement to allow two Williams pipeline projects, including NESE.
