Secretary Wright, Secretary Burgum, and Administrator Zeldin at NESE Groundbreaking - April 14, 2026
At a groundbreaking for the Northeast Supply Enhancement (NESE or “Nessie”) pipeline on April 14, 2026, Interior Secretary Doug Bergum, former officials and industry leaders touted the project as the first major new gas supply into New York in over a decade, aimed at lowering winter natural gas prices, improving reliability, and reducing truck deliveries. Speakers argued that domestic natural gas—sourced from nearby Marcellus/Utica production—has kept U.S. energy costs low and that constrained pipeline capacity has made New York and New England’s prices several times higher than other regions. Project proponents claimed the pipeline could cut household costs by more than $1,000 and enhance safety by reducing road deliveries during cold snaps. Remarks framed the NESE build as central to an “energy dominance” agenda and a corrective to state policies they said raised costs through obstruction and regulation.
