This new 24-inch wide, 22-mile long pipeline will serve South Jersey Gas customers in Atlantic and Cape May counties with an emergency supply of gas in the event of a service disruption – a back-up supply that right now, they are lacking. Additionally, the pipeline will provide the B.L. England electric generation plant with natural gas during its anticipated conversion from coal – a conversion that will benefit the environment, without jeopardizing the stability of the electrical grid by keeping the plant online and in production. South Jersey Gas’ business and residential customers in the southernmost part of the state need this pipeline to ensure the reliability of their natural gas service. An outage, like that experienced further north in the aftermath of Superstorm Sandy, would leave Cape May and Atlantic counties devastated. Likewise, without natural gas service, the B.L. England plant will be forced to shut down, leaving this critical electrical congestion area vulnerable unless replaced. Alternative means of replacing this lost energy will likely include the construction of new high-voltage electric transmission lines and substation upgrades across southern New Jersey and through large swaths of protected forest and wetlands. This project is essential to ensure safe and reliable natural gas and electricity service can be provided for all residents and businesses in South Jersey. It is good for the South Jersey Gas customers in Cape May and Atlantic counties; it is good for the stability of the electrical grid; and it is good for the state of New Jersey. I urge you to support South Jersey Gas’ pipeline reliability project.
