🇬🇧 English

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) has updated the schedule for its environmental assessment of Algonquin Gas Transmission's Cape Cod Canal Pipeline Relocation Project. The original schedule called for issuance of the Environmental Assessment on April 17, 2026. Due to Algonquin's delay in submitting the horizontal directional drill assessment report and additional project siting information, FERC has moved the EA issuance date to May 29, 2026. The EA will be open for a 30-day public comment period. The 90-day Federal Authorization Decision Deadline for other federal and state agencies is now August 27, 2026.
