FERC Commissioners Rule Merchant-Built NY Line Not Required to Expand

LCG, Sep. 6, 2002--The owners of a transmission line from Connecticut to New York's Long Island do not share the obligation of integrated utilities to upgrade their line to match growing demand, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission ruled yesterday.

The company that owns the 24-mile Cross Sound Cable, capable of transmitting 330 megawatts, is Transenergie U.S. Ltd.
