Points
Marcellus production continues to be robust and low-priced
Pipelines entering NE from the “west” are essentially full, leaving NE market subject to high spot prices, notably in the winter
New gas transmission infrastructure into New England not available until late 2016 at the earliest
New England’s (and New Hampshire’s) natural gas utilities are signing up for capacity on proposed pipeline projects, while the power sector is not – a persistent dilemma for the regional power market
Major market impact of spot prices: NE wholesale power market and electric customers

Project Scope:“Electric power solution” could begin service as early as 2018.
The natural gas supply increase will be available in increments.
Expanding the Spectra pipelines, which already directly connect to ~ 60% of New England’s natural gas-fired electric generation, will provide natural gas to power plants critical for grid stability on the coldest and warmest days.

New England Governors’ Energy Infrastructure Initiative / NESCOE
A year ago, the New England Governors announced a joint energy initiative designed to accelerate regional cooperation on expanding renewable energy and energy infrastructure in New England.
NESCOE at NE Council event in Manchester in June: “Recent pipeline projects have had zero electric power generators subscribe for firm natural gas transportation.”
Next steps???
Summary
• New England remains highest spot price point for natural gas – new infrastructure needed, planned, in process.
• Customer bill impacts felt last winter – and challenging price outlook for coming years, notably on the electric side
• Utilities continue to see growth on systems - but new infrastructure key to assuring adequate capacity for future growth. New England (and NH) natural gas utilities are participating in new pipeline proposals.
• New Hampshire and New England well-positioned to take advantage of U.S. domestic resource base – if infrastructure can be added to access supplies.
