National Grid Lifts N.Y. Gas Ban, Ending Standoff With Cuomo
(Bloomberg) -- National Grid Plc agreed to immediately lift its ban on new natural gas hookups in New York state, backing down in its extraordinary standoff with Governor Andrew Cuomo.After a months-long feud, the company says it’s now found ways to serve all its customers in Brooklyn, Queens and on Long Island for the next two years, according to a statement Monday. London-based National Grid will also pay $36 million in penalties, energy efficiency measures and clean-energy projects.Cuomo called it a “victory” for utility customers. “We will not allow any business - big or small - to extort New Yorkers in order to advance its own interests,” he said in a statement.The deal ends an unprecedented showdown that stalled thousands of construction projects in one of New York’s most populous regions as the utility refused to install gas hookups. It laid bare how fraught America’s relationship with gas has grown as states push to move away from heating oil but are leery of building infrastructure that could prolong dependence on fossil fuel.National Grid rose 1.1% in London.“I’m not that surprised that there’s a resolution,” Paul Patterson, an analyst at Glenrock Associates LLC, said in an interview. “It will make people feel a lot better, but in the long term we still have to see what the solutions are.”The fight started in May after New York rejected a $1 billion pipeline expansion, which the company said was crucial to meet rising gas demand. Days later, National Grid announced it wouldn’t process any new applications for gas service until the pipeline was approved. After months of sparring, Cuomo threatened to revoke National Grid’s license if it didn’t fix the shortage by Nov. 26.New York has rich deposits of gas. But in addition to blocking the pipeline, the state has outlawed fracking, making it difficult to produce gas locally. Such moves have crimped supply in the region, analysts say. Clean-energy advocates counter that there’s already enough gas wasted in inefficient boilers, stoves and elsewhere to accommodate new demand without new pipelines.As part of its agreement with the state, National Grid agreed to develop a long-term plan to meet gas demand in the state by June. Regulators will appoint an independent monitor to oversee National Grid’s cooperation with the agreement.Read More: New York Feud Over Gas Hurtles Toward a Utility’s ExpulsionIn a statement, National Grid’s interim U.S. President Badar Khan said the company regrets that it didn’t provide more notice or explanation to the company’s customers about the moratorium.“We appreciate the opportunity to work with the Governor’s office and the Department of Public Service to address these challenging issues,” he said.(Adds analyst comment in sixth paragraph)To contact the reporter on this story: Gerson Freitas Jr. in New York at gfreitasjr@bloomberg.netTo contact the editors responsible for this story: Lynn Doan at ldoan6@bloomberg.net, Joe Ryan, Christopher MartinFor more articles like this, please visit us at bloomberg.com©2019 Bloomberg L.P.

UK's SSE creates Swiss holding co. as nationalisation hedge
British power firm SSE has created a Swiss holding company for its electricity distribution and transmission businesses, it said on Monday, in a move seen as a safeguard against nationalisation plans should the Labour Party win next month's general election. The deal involves the transfer of shares to the new holding company, it said. "This is intended to support long-term investment in low carbon infrastructure in SSE's core businesses - there are no profit or tax advantages and it is fully consistent with SSE's commitment to fair tax," the company said in an emailed statement.

UPDATE 2-UK's National Grid looks past regulatory challenges after profit beat
National Grid said on Thursday it was confident it would be able to address concerns over gas supplies raised this week by governor of New York who warned he could revoke the British firm's licence to operate in southern parts of the state. The utility, which runs Britain's energy system and operates a gas franchise in New York City and Long Island, also said it expected to avoid being fined by Britain's energy regulator over widespread outages in August. Earlier this week, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo threatened to strip National Grid of its licence to supply gas in the city and Long Island, saying that it had failed to provide "adequate and reliable service".

Companies plan net zero emissions industrial zone in UK by 2040
Three energy firms announced plans on Tuesday to develop the world's first net zero emissions industrial zone in the north east of England by 2040, a move they said could help Britain meet its climate targets. Britain earlier this year set a target to reach net zero emissions by 2050. Under the scheme, power firm Drax, oil company Equinor and power gird operator National Grid plan to cut emissions at several industrial sites around the Humber estuary, using technology to capture, store and use carbon dioxide emissions and by using hydrogen as an emission free fuel for heating and transport.
