PennEast Pipeline Project Clears Hurdle with Supreme Court Ruling

SUGAR LAND--June 30, 2021--Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--In a win for the 116-mile PennEast Pipeline, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled 5-4 on Tuesday that developers of federally-approved natural-gas pipeline projects can use eminent domain powers to seize state-owned land. With an estimated cost of about $1 billion, the 36-inch-wide pipeline would deliver more than 1 billion cubic feet (Bcf) per day of Marcellus shale gas from Luzerne County, in northeastern Pennsylvania, to Transco's pipeline interconnection near Pennington, New Jersey.
