Department of Energy Allocates $42 Million for Constitution Pipeline Pre-Construction in Pennsylvania and New York
The Department of Energy is providing up to $42 million in Defense Production Act Title III funding for pre-construction and permitting activities related to the proposed 125-mile Constitution Pipeline. This pipeline is planned to run from Pennsylvania to New York and is managed by Constitution Pipeline Company, LLC. The allocated funds are intended to cover environmental reviews, assessments, engineering, and site preparation. Once the necessary permits are secured, the funding may also be utilized to support the deployment of complementary natural gas infrastructure. This initiative is part of a broader effort that references $1 billion appropriated under the Working Families Tax Cut for various energy projects. A detailed fact sheet regarding this funding was subsequently released on October 21.
