Tale of 2 LI energy projects: Gas pipeline advances, power line lacks key fed OK
Two years ago, a $1 billion natural-gas expansion project known as Northeast Supply Enhancement appeared to have as much chance of being built as a wind turbine on the White House lawn.
Among projects on the front burner for Long Island was 90-mile high-voltage transmission project called Propel NY Energy that would snake from Western Suffolk and Nassau to the Bronx and Westchester to move renewable power around the state. Propel was scheduled to start construction this summer.
