Connecticut Urged to Advance Southeast Resiliency Project for Energy Security
Connecticut's Southeast Resiliency Project, aimed at upgrading natural gas infrastructure, is critical for energy security. The project, nearly complete, faces delays due to a review by the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP). The completion of the final segment is essential given the region's increased energy demands highlighted by the record cold temperatures in January 2026, which emphasized the need for a resilient energy network.

Connecticut's Southeast Resiliency Project, which upgrades natural gas infrastructure, is crucial for energy security. The project is over 90% complete but faces delays due to a Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP) review under the Connecticut Environmental Policy Act (CEPA).
This delay jeopardizes the redundancy necessary for reliable energy, especially highlighted by January 2026's record cold temperatures that led to high natural gas demand. The project is vital for the region's businesses and institutions, and its completion is necessary to ensure a resilient energy network that can handle peak demand without disruption.
