Beginning in the Spring of 2017 through the Fall of 2020, National Grid worked to construct the Metropolitan Natural Gas Reliability Project in Brooklyn, NY. Portions of this important infrastructure project were successfully installed and placed into service prior to the 2020-2021 heating season. The project provides necessary reliability improvements to the local infrastructure system, ensuring that all customers have access to reliable energy. This project now helps deliver energy needed to power local businesses and communities across downstate New York. It’s an investment to update our infrastructure for more reliable and cleaner delivery of energy.
Our community outreach team worked closely with local businesses and neighbors to share project information and up to date construction schedules. From 2017 through completion, a dedicated project outreach team worked with neighbors from Brownsville to East Williamsburg to proactively minimize impacts and ensure the public could safely navigate the complexities that come with large scale construction projects. As part of our commitment to community partnership, the outreach team knocked on doors and had one-to-one conversations with local businesses and members of the community to share project information and answer questions about the project.
Now that the Metropolitan Reliability Infrastructure project is in service, we are serving residents with safer and more reliable infrastructure we can count on for energy today, as we work toward a low-carbon clean energy future. Thank you for your partnership and open dialogue, we look forward to continuing our commitment to serve the community with reliable, affordable, sustainable energy.
There is some remaining work on the project and we’ve previously stated that it will not move forward without analysis from a third-party independent consultant, feedback from stakeholders and review and approval from our regulators. We have a framework in place to guide those discussions if there is a decision to move forward with the work.
National Grid is committed to net zero carbon emissions. We’re investing in newer, cleaner technologies to help achieve our shared clean energy vision along with the City and the State. Our net zero carbon commitment defines our values and future energy vision. We look forward to continuing the dialogue with the community.

Desde la primavera de 2017 hasta el otoño de 2020, National Grid trabajó en la construcción del Proyecto metropolitano de confiabilidad de gas natural en Brooklyn, Nueva York. Partes de este importante proyecto de infraestructura se instalaron con éxito y se pusieron en servicio antes de la temporada de calefacción 2020-2021. El proyecto proporciona las mejoras de confiabilidad necesarias para el sistema de infraestructura local y garantiza que todos los clientes tengan acceso a una energía confiable. Este proyecto ahora ayuda a suministrar la energía necesaria para alimentar a las empresas y comunidades locales en todo el estado de Nueva York. Se trata de una inversión para actualizar nuestra infraestructura y conseguir un suministro de energía más confiable y limpio.
Nuestro equipo de acercamiento a la comunidad trabajó estrechamente con las empresas locales y los vecinos para compartir la información del proyecto y los calendarios de construcción actualizados. Desde 2017 hasta su finalización, un equipo de acercamiento dedicado al proyecto trabajó con los vecinos desde Brownsville hasta East Williamsburg para minimizar proactivamente los impactos y garantizar que el público pudiera navegar de forma segura por las complejidades que conllevan los proyectos de construcción a gran escala. Como parte de nuestro compromiso de colaboración con la comunidad, el equipo de acercamiento acudió y mantuvo conversaciones individuales con las empresas locales y los miembros de la comunidad para compartir información sobre el proyecto y responder a sus preguntas.
Ahora que el proyecto de Infraestructura de confiabilidad metropolitana está en funcionamiento, estamos brindado servicios a los residentes con una infraestructura más segura y confiable con la que podemos contar para la energía de hoy, mientras trabajamos para alcanzar un futuro de energía limpia con bajas emisiones de carbono. Gracias por su colaboración y por el diálogo abierto, esperamos continuar con nuestro compromiso de servir a la comunidad con energía confiable, asequible y sostenible.
Queda algo de trabajo pendiente en el proyecto y ya hemos dicho que no avanzará sin el análisis de un consultor independiente, la opinión de las partes interesadas y la revisión y aprobación de nuestros reguladores. Tenemos un marco para guiar esas discusiones si se decide seguir adelante con el trabajo.
National Grid está comprometida con las emisiones netas de carbono cero. Estamos invirtiendo en tecnologías más nuevas y más limpias para ayudar a alcanzar nuestra visión compartida de energía limpia junto con la ciudad y el estado. Nuestro compromiso de carbono neto cero define nuestros valores y nuestra visión energética futura. Esperamos continuar el diálogo con la comunidad.
