National Grid: We Won’t Pay To Be Poisoned: 2024 Updates and What’s Next?
September 18, 2024: Sane Energy files the first of three comments slamming National Grid’s proposal to keep building fracked gas networks for the next 20 years.
August 15, 2024: NYS Public Service Commission, under the direction of Governor Kathy Hochul, turns their back on the people and awards National Grid with over $5 billion in bill increases for its fracked gas system.
June 4, 2024: As mandated by New York State, National Grid filed its Long-Term Plan with the Public Service Commission. This opened another proceeding that overlapped with our ongoing fight in the 2023 rate case. Case Number 24-G-0248
April 28, 2023: National Grid Strikes Back Against The People! After our Victory in March 2023, National Grid filed its largest rate hike request for $3.8 billion for expanding and extending the life of its fracked gas system. Sane Energy and other members of the No North Brooklyn Pipeline Alliance signed on to intervene. Case Number 23-G-0225
March 16, 2023: PEOPLE’S VICTORY: We defeated the final leg of the pipeline as well as the LNG (liquefied ‘natural’ gas) vaporizers at their LNG depot at the apex of the pipeline route. This is a victory for everyone.
Ongoing: The fight to shut off the gas in the first four phases of the pipeline that National Grid connected to one of their smaller pipelines from the 1960s continues.
A group of us traveled to Albany on March 16, 2023 to witness the victorious DENIAL of National Grid’s fracked gas vaporizers at 287 Maspeth, officially halting the completion of the North Brooklyn pipeline.
