能源部动用《国防生产法》资金4200万美元 推进宾州至纽约Constitution天然气管道
美国能源部（DOE）10月19日宣布，将动用《国防生产法》（DPA）第三章资金最高4,200万美元，推进 Constitution Pipeline Company, LLC 拟建的天然气管道项目——一条长约125英里、从宾夕法尼亚州东北部通往纽约州的天然气管道。
能源部表示，这笔资金将用于项目开工前的前期与许可工作，包括环境审查与评估、工程与场地准备，以及取得监管批准所需的其他费用；许可证办妥后，还将支持配套天然气基础设施的部署。依据总统第2026-12号决定，天然气管道、加工与储存设施被认定为对国防至关重要的设施；《Working Families Tax Cut》已为国家安全关键能源项目拨款10亿美元。
能源部长 Chris Wright 表示：「尽管美国拥有丰富的低成本天然气，数千万美国人仍因缺乏管道基础设施，难以获得这种可靠能源。」他说，该项目将降低用电高峰时段的停电风险。内政部长、国家能源主导委员会主席 Doug Burgum 表示，这项对纽约州的投资将帮助东北地区家庭节省数十亿美元能源开支。
该项目由 Williams 旗下 Constitution Pipeline 公司推进，管道直径30英寸，设计日输气量65万十撒姆，自宾夕法尼亚州 Susquehanna County 起，经纽约州 Broome、Chenango、Delaware、Schoharie 四县，接入既有州际管道系统。项目2012年提出、2014年获联邦批准，2016年因纽约州拒绝颁发水质认证而搁置，2020年开发商宣布暂停投入；2025年12月，公司向联邦能源监管委员会（FERC）申请重新颁发建设证书。Williams 公司的目标是在获得批准后于2028年第四季度投运。
DOE Puts Up to $42 Million in Defense Production Act Funding Behind the Constitution Pipeline from Pennsylvania to New York
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) announced on October 19 that it will use up to $42 million in Defense Production Act (DPA) Title III funding to advance the development of the Constitution Pipeline, a proposed 125-mile natural gas pipeline from Pennsylvania to New York planned by Constitution Pipeline Company, LLC.
DOE said the funding will support eligible pre-construction and permitting activities, including environmental reviews and assessments, engineering and site-preparation work, and other costs of securing regulatory approvals; once permits are complete, it will also support deployment of complementary natural gas infrastructure. Under Presidential Determination No. 2026-12, natural gas pipelines, processing and storage are identified as essential to national defense, and the Working Families Tax Cut has appropriated $1 billion for energy projects deemed critical to national security.
"Despite America having an abundant supply of low-cost natural gas, tens of millions of Americans have limited access to this reliable energy source due to a lack of pipeline infrastructure," said U.S. Secretary of Energy Chris Wright, adding that the project will reduce the risk of blackouts during periods of peak demand. Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum, chairman of the National Energy Dominance Council, said the investment will help deliver reliable, secure energy while saving families across the Northeast billions of dollars.
The project, developed by Williams' Constitution Pipeline Company, is designed to carry 650,000 dekatherms of natural gas per day through a 30-inch pipeline from Susquehanna County, Pennsylvania, across Broome, Chenango, Delaware and Schoharie counties in New York, connecting with existing interstate pipeline systems. First proposed in 2012 and approved by federal regulators in 2014, the project stalled after New York denied a water-quality certification in 2016, and the developer halted investment in 2020. In December 2025 the company asked the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) to reissue its certificate; Williams is targeting service in the fourth quarter of 2028, pending approvals.
