Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey urged the Trump administration to expedite federal environmental review of the Reliable Affordable Resilient Enhancement (RARE) project, an expansion of Enbridge’s Algonquin Gas Transmission pipeline in New England. The project is expected to serve 600,000 customers, reduce gas bills by $40 million annually and add about 75 million cubic feet per day of capacity, with an in-service target of 2028. Healey said the added supply could reduce reliance on higher-cost imported liquefied natural gas (LNG) at Constellation Energy’s Everett LNG import terminal in Massachusetts. The push reflects a broader shift among several Northeast states that have become more receptive to fossil-fuel projects after opposing most new developments for about a decade, as officials seek to address soaring consumer energy bills. The project remains under review by FERC (U.S. energy infrastructure regulator).
