Williams secures key state permits for Northeast Supply Enhancement Project
Williams (NYSE: WMB) announced it has received crucial Clean Water Act Section 401 and 404 permits from New Jersey’s Department of Environmental Protection and water quality certification from New York’s Department of Environmental Conservation for its Northeast Supply Enhancement (NESE) project. The natural gas expansion aims to bolster New York City’s energy affordability and reliability by reducing dependence on fuel oil and diesel-delivered energy.
The NESE project, expected to generate more than $1 billion in investment and 3,000 construction jobs, will supply gas to about 2.3 million homes and reduce CO₂ emissions by over 13,000 tons annually. Williams also continues work on its Constitution Pipeline project to enhance gas supply across the broader Northeast region, projected to deliver $11.6 billion in consumer savings and support 2,000 jobs annually over 15 years.
