Although the project is in the early stages of development, a proposed natural gas pipeline would bring 21.2 miles of pipeline from Milford to Stoughton to Canton.

The Access Northeast project, announced by Spectra Energy last fall, will reportedly bring up to 1 billion cubic feet of natural gas to the region’s gas-fired power plants each day to help keep costs low and save electric customers $1 billion each year.

The $3 billion project would directly connect to up to 70 percent of New England’s power plants helping to lower electricity rates as early as winter 2018.

The project would deliver enough natural gas to produce more than 5,000 megawatts of power, said Arthur Diestel, manager of stakeholder outreach for Spectra Energy, one of the project’s developers.
