PSE&G Receives Approval of $905 Million Program to Accelerate Replacement of Aging Gas Infrastructure

​Trenton, NJ - According to NJB News Now, “Public Service Electric and Gas Company (PSE&G), New Jersey’s largest utility, has announced the approval of a three-year, $905 million program to expedite the replacement of aging gas pipes. Approved by the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities, the program will enable PSE&G to accelerate the modernization of its cast iron and unprotected steel gas infrastructure — replacing up to 510 miles of gas mains and 38,000 service lines over the three-year period.
“Accelerated replacement of our aging gas pipes ensures we can support a safe, clean and reliable gas system well into the future,” said Ralph LaRossa, PSE&G president and COO. “Since 2009, our residential customers’ gas heating bills are down 47 percent because of the lower cost of natural gas supply. The timing is right to accelerate this work — while gas prices remain low.”
​
The work will take place across PSE&G’s service territory in 11 counties, concentrating on urban areas established in the early 1900s, where much of the utility’s cast iron and unprotected steel gas pipes are located. PSE&G is working with municipalities to determine when replacements will be done. Engineering and planning of the construction is underway, with work set to begin in the spring.

Work is being prioritized based on the condition and location of the gas mains. In addition, data on methane emissions from the Environmental Defense Fund (EDF) will be used in prioritizing this work.

EDF partnered with Google and Colorado State University on a program to detect, map, and quantify methane emissions from natural gas distribution systems quickly and cost-effectively, using new mapping and analytical methods. The organization spent six months surveying portions of PSE&G’s service territory being targeted for replacement under the utility’s Gas System Modernization Program.”
