GREENFIELD – Energy giant Kinder Morgan has officially withdrawn its application for the proposed Northeast Energy Direct project, formally ending its bid to install a new 1.2 billion-cubic-foot per day pipeline through New York, Massachusetts and New Hampshire.
The company filed the notice of withdrawal of its application for a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission Monday.
The company said April 20 that it could not attract enough customers to make building the pipeline economical and suspended all work on the project that day.
The pipeline was slated to pass through much of Franklin County and spawned a groundswell of opposition along its proposed path.
