Gas pipeline in waters off Staten Island coast moves forward after Trump brings dead project back to life
Once dead in the water, a plan to run a natural gas pipeline underwater, on a route that runs along Staten Island’s south and east shores, has restarted.
The project developed by Williams, an Oklahoma-based company, was first proposed in 2018 and was halted following backlash from the public and pushback by the state under the governance of then-Gov. Andrew Cuomo.
But President Donald Trump has publicly supported restarting the project, and in a series of negotiations with Gov. Kathy Hochul—largely focused on congestion pricing, and including a face-to-face meeting at the White House in March— the two discussed pipeline projects, according to a NY1 report.
In the months that followed, a new application was submitted by Williams, and in late May Hochul expressed openness to the pipeline, telling NY1, “My message is what I told the president, which is that I will make sure that any applicant for a pipeline or any energy project follows all state, local and federal laws.
“That being said, we can look at this expansively and also consider the benefits at a time when energy prices are through the roof and families in ]every corner of our state are suffering from high bills for groceries and utilities.”
As reported in Gothamist, the Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis issued a report in 2020 that the pipeline would cost $1 billion, and that under the terms of the 2018 plan “ratepayers in Long Island, Brooklyn, Staten Island and most of Queens would have to pay $193 million a year for the next 15 years to cover the pipeline’s cost.”[/big][/b]
