Economic Impact

The PennEast Pipeline directly accesses one of the most-abundant and most-affordable supplies of natural gas in all of North America. The PennEast Pipeline will lower energy costs, make businesses more competitive, and power our regional economy for decades to come.

$893 MILLION IN ENERGY SAVINGS. A study by Concentric Energy Advisors found that the region would have saved $893 million in both gas and electric costs had PennEast been in service during one recent winter. With clean-natural gas increasingly generating electricity, it will help lower New Jersey’s 10th highest-in-the-nation and Pennsylvania’s 19th highest-in the-nation electricity costs.

JOBS. This much-needed infrastructure project will generate over $1.6 billion in economic impact, create 12,160 direct and indirect jobs, and will lower electric and natural gas bills for homes and businesses thereby positioning the region for long-term economic growth.

OVERWHELMINGLY ENDORSED BY BUSINESS AND LABOR. PennEast Pipeline is supported by every leading major business and labor organization across Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
