Enbridge presentation to Middleborough Gas & Electric Commission

Enbridge gave a presentation to Middleborough Gas & Electric Commission on May 8, 2024, as part of their Project Maple expansion plans.

The Stop Project Maple coalition group explained, “On May 8, 2024, Enbridge presented to the Gas & Electric Commission in Middleborough, MA, giving an update of Project Maple and current plans for expansion on the “G System” lateral that extends from the main transmission pipeline down towards the South Coast and on to Cape Cod with westward laterals back over to Rhode Island.

They also mention in this presentation that there will be development to “build deliverability” along the “J System” lateral of the AGT in Cambridge.

The G System portion is anticipated to be 6 or 7 miles of “lift and relay” within the existing pipeline right of way, replacing 12″ diameter pipeline with 30″ diameter on an existing pipeline loop. The Enbridge representative stated that right now, they’re working on getting signatures on precedent agreements (contracts to purchase gas), and that they intend to file with FERC, and the local distribution companies (LDCs) will file with state regulatory agencies when these agreements are in place and signed.

Members of the Middleborough Gas & Electric Commission expressed interest in signing the precedent agreement very quickly.” (StopProjectMaple.com)
