NY rejects National Grid’s fracked gas vaporizers in Greenpoint
GREENPOINT — The New York State Public Service Commission issued a statement Thursday saying that Natural Grid’s gas vaporizers planned in Greenpoint are no longer necessary to meet peak demand.
As a result, the commission denied the company’s petition seeking cost recovery for the project.
The project initially began as a means of increasing the capacity of the North Brooklyn Pipeline. Original projections for the cost of the gas vaporizers was a steep $185 million of ratepayer dollars, according to Brooklyn Eagle reporting in March of 2021.
