PITTSBURGH, PA – November 7, 2025 – Marcellus Shale Coalition president Jim Welty issued the following statement in response to New York and New Jersey’s approval of a key water quality certification for the Northeast Supply Enhancement project (NESE):
“Greenlighting NESE is an important step in beginning to lift the energy blockade that’s plagued New York and northeast consumers with higher costs and reliability challenges for far too long. Governor Hochul’s decision is welcomed and long overdue, but more must be done to build additional pipelines that connect the energy-hungry regions with Pennsylvania’s natural gas abundance.”
