Future Natural Gas Demands:

Nine Scenarios and Their Impacts

The growing demands in New England for natural gas to fuel space heating in winter months and electric generation year round has prompted several proposals by private developers to build new liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminals here and in nearby regions.  In this report, the Power Planning Committee of the New England Governors' Conference provides the Governors, at their request, with an analysis of the region's future demands for natural gas, the various resource development scenarios that might be pursued to address them and the impacts that might be expected by pursuing one or more of those scenarios.
