Informational meeting held in Brookfield on proposed Iroquois work

An informational meeting has been held in Brookfield about proposed work by Iroquois.  The plan calls for two new compressors in one building, next to the two smaller buildings with the compressors already on the property.  This would add 24,000 horsepower for the main line allowing gas to go from the Algonquin line to the Iroquois line.  Gas cooling will also be added.  A formal application with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission will be filed in January.  Iroquois says benefits of the project include reduced price volatility and lower fuel prices for gas and electric utilities.  The project complements the state's zero-carbon initiatives and pursuit of off-shore wind resources.  Iroquois says the work will enhance electric grid reliability and resiliency with additional compression that enables fast start and quick ramping during peak periods.
