View Comments WASHINGTON – The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, or FERC, has given Williams Transco a two-year extension to complete the Northeast Supply Enhancement Project in Somerset and Middlesex counties and under Raritan Bay. The $1 billion project would transport natural gas from Pennsylvania to the New York City area through an underground pipeline that cuts through Hunterdon, Somerset and Middlesex counties to Raritan Bay where 23 miles of submarine pipeline will take the gas to Long Island. The project also includes plans for a 32,000-horsepower gas compressor near the border of Franklin and South Brunswick. FERC approved the project in May 2019 with the condition it would be completed by May 2021.
