PSE&G Seeks Approval for Next Phase in Major Overhaul of Gas Infrastructure

New Jersey’s largest utility is seeking state approval to continue a major overhaul of its gas infrastructure, replacing aging cast-iron and steel pipelines prone to leaking methane, a potent greenhouse gas.

The three-year $2.54 billion proposed project, filed with the state Board of Public Utilities Wednesday, also would allow PSE&G for the first time to use renewable natural gas and hydrogen in its gas distribution system, which serves nearly 2 million customers.
