Less than a year after its opponents were celebrating its demise, the controversial Williams-Transco Northeast Services Enhancement Project to increase its natural gas pipeline infrastructure has reared its head.
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 is set to expire on May 3.
