Background

Texas Eastern Transmission LP, a subsidiary of Enbridge, is proposing to expand its interstate natural gas pipeline system to provide natural gas supplies to delivery points along or near its existing Philadelphia Lateral, potentially including points across the Delaware River in southern New Jersey. The target in-service date may be as early as April 1, 2021.

The project is currently under review by Enbridge, and in March of 2018 Enbridge announced a binding open season from March 5, 2018 to March 29, 2018 to assess the project's commercial viability. As of December 2022, the project was still in announced state and construction had not begun yet.
