Williams Files Petition to Revive New York Gas Pipeline Project
- Williams, a Tulsa-based company, announced it will revive two natural gas pipeline projects into New York after previously scrapping them due to permit denials.
- During Andrew Cuomo's time as governor, New York officials prevented the construction of the pipelines by rejecting applications related to water quality protections, citing environmental risks.
- The pipelines, including the underwater Northeast Supply Enhancement from New Jersey to New York City, aim to address natural gas supply constraints driving high energy costs in the Northeast.
- A recent analysis by S&P Global indicates that increasing pipeline infrastructure may lower natural gas costs in the Northeast by approximately 20 to 30 percent, while Williams emphasized that these developments are vital for resolving ongoing supply challenges in the region.
- The revival signals potential easing of state opposition under Governor Kathy Hochul, whose administration reviews applications for compliance and impact, highlighting ongoing tension between energy reliability and environmental concerns.

How Trump and Williams reviving Constitution Pipeline may result in another New York gas pipeline instead
President Trump’s fixation with reviving a long-dead natural gas pipeline to New York is now resulting in action—for not one but two New York gas pipeline projects. Trump’s focus on the 124-mile Constitution Pipeline that was canceled in 2020 may instead result in pipeline developer Williams Cos. reviving its more practical Northeast Supply Enhancement (NESE) project in New York instead, according to energy analysts. Williams filed a federal app…
