Federal regulators on Wednesday issued a key approval for a $93 million expansion of pipeline infrastructure that will bring more natural gas to Connecticut.

The developer of a proposed 63.3-megawatt Beacon Falls Energy Park said this week that the project is “shovel ready.”

When Connecticut launched its ambitious $7 billion, 10-year effort in 2014 to convert approximately 280,000 utility customers to natural gas, the plan's success hinged on federal government projections that oil prices would climb for the next decade or more.

Perhaps the most important question in building energy infrastructure is “who's going to pay for it?” Under Connecticut's ongoing procurement, and similar proceedings in other New England states, the answer is changing.

Kinder Morgan has won a key federal approval of its proposed 13-mile natural gas pipeline expansion, part of which will touch Hartford County.

The three main natural gas utilities in Connecticut all have below average residential customer satisfaction rates, according to California research firm J.D. Power & Associates.

East Hartford utility Connecticut Natural Gas will break ground Thursday on a new 10-mile natural gas pipeline expansion into East Hampton, marking the first time the town's businesses and residents can use the fuel for heat.

Hartford/Boston utility Eversource Energy scored last in a national ranking for customer satisfaction among investor-owned utilities, according to a report released Tuesday.

Berlin natural gas utility Eversource Energy, previously known as Yankee Gas, will return $1.5 million to its 220,000 customers starting in December, after a regulatory investigation revealed the company over-earned its approved amount.
