Williams-Transco on May 20 won federal approval of its request for a two-year extension to bring to fruition the company’s planned Northeast Services Enhancement Project, which includes a gas compressor station in Franklin.

Transco on March 19 applied to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission for a two-year extension on FERC’s approval of the $1 billion project, which expired on May 3. The company at the time also stated its intent to re-file permit applications with the state Department of Environmental Protection, applications which were denied as “moot” by the DEP in 2020, following their denial by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation.
