National Grid announced yesterday that it was ending attempts to build the KeySpan LNG regasification terminal on the Providence River and would withdraw the appeal of the FERC rejection currently pending before a federal appeals court. The Providence Journal reports that several state and federal officials praised National Grid’s decision. Rhode Island Governor Carcieri (R) stated that, “This scheme was riddled with far too many safety, security and environmental concerns.”
