Chesapeake Utilities Corp. announced that the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) has approved plans by Eastern Shore Natural Gas (ESNG), Chesapeake Utilities’ interstate natural gas transmission subsidiary, to construct pipeline and compression facilities to preserve the reliability and flexibility of its interstate pipeline system. The project is estimated to cost approximately $36 million.
“The investment we are making in this project is part of our ongoing commitment to the reliability of our natural gas transmission infrastructure, benefiting energy consumers throughout our service territories,” said Michael P.
