Hampshire

Liberty Utilities, an affiliate of Algonquin Power and Utilities Corp., is proposing a new pipeline that would carry natural gas from an interconnect in southeast New Hampshire to the state’s central area.

Algonquin Gas Transmission LLC’s Access Northeast expansion project was dealt another blow last week when regulators in New Hampshire refused to approve a 20-year transportation and storage capacity contract between the Spectra Energy pipeline and Eversource Energy, with costs to be borne by ratepayers.

Tennessee Gas Pipeline Co. LLC (TGP), which recently advised New Hampshire to go it alone to secure natural gas pipeline capacity, is giving similar advice to Massachusetts.

If necessary, New Hampshire should go it alone to secure natural gas pipeline capacity to feed power generators and combat high costs for heat and electricity, rather than wait for other New England states to act in concert, Tennessee Gas Pipeline Co. LLC (TGP) told the state’s Public Utilities Commission.

FERC Monday issued a favorable environmental assessment for Tennessee Gas Pipeline’s proposal to expand the pipeline’s lateral in New Hampshire. The expansion of the Concord lateral calls for the construction of a new compressor station in Pelham, NH, and modifications to existing piping at its existing Laconia Meter Station in Concord, NH. The new compression would create an additional 30,000 Dth/d of capacity from Dracut, MA, to Laconia, NH, providing incremental natural gas transportation to customers of Energy North Natural Gas.

Iberdrola SA’s proposed acquisition of Portland, ME-based Energy East — which serves 900,000 natural gas customers and 1.8 million electricity customers in Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Connecticut and New York — for an estimated $4.5 billion has been authorized by FERC.
