The only compressor station along the PennEast pipeline has been approved by Kidder Township supervisors; moving this important project another giant step forward.

Progress is being made as the Kidder Township Board of Supervisors vote 5-0 to approve the land use permit for the only compressor station along the PennEast pipeline project. Three different government regulators determined this pipeline project is environmentally safe, which helped lead to the approval. There is one final approval needed from FERC, which is expected to be approved in the coming weeks.

The 120 mile long pipeline project will run from Pennsylvania to New Jersey, bringing reliable, low cost natural gas to areas currently paying much more for natural gas. Families and businesses alike will benefit from the price stability the PennEast Pipeline will deliver.

The sole compressor station will use state-of-the-art technology to ensure emissions are below the requirements of Clean Air Act. The compressor station will be located in Carbon County along the pipeline route and include the natural gas turbine units.
