FERC OKs Iroquois ExC Construction at 3 of 4 Compressor Sites

Shovels, meet dirt. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) yesterday gave Iroquois Gas Transmission System the green light to begin construction on its Enhancement by Compression (ExC) project — well, most of it. FERC signed off on new compression and gas cooling equipment at Iroquois' Athens and Dover compressor stations in New York and its Milford station in Connecticut. The fourth site, in Brookfield, Connecticut, is still stuck in state air permit purgatory. But three out of four ain't bad. It means real work can finally start on pushing more Marcellus/Utica gas into New York City and New England, two of the most gas-starved (and highest-priced) energy markets in the country.
