Insufficient pipeline capacity currently limits and constrains access to Pennsylvania natural gas supplies which has resulted in a slowdown in investment, production, employment and tax revenues generated by the natural gas industry in Pa.
- Without infrastructure to move product to markets, prices will continue to hinder activity, investment and job creation in the shale production regions
- Pipeline infrastructure like the ASR project creates consumer access to an abundant supply of clean, affordable energy. Further reducing energy costs for consumers
- Continued shale production and the ASR designed to supply enough natural gas to meet the daily needs of more than 7 million American homes helps to accelerate America’s track to energy independence.
- Project itself will be a $2.9 billion investment which will generate approximately $1.6 billion in additional wages, revenues and investments to the regional and state economies of PA and approximately 8,000 jobs and an associated $870 million in economic value added during the construction period.
