Judge decision advances MPSC approval process Great Lakes
Feb. 23, 2021
We support the judge’s decision. Like the recent issuance of the environmental permits from EGLE, this is an important step in securing the timely construction of the Great Lakes Tunnel.
Our aim is simple—to replace the two pipelines in the Straits with an even safer pipeline encased in a concrete tunnel well below the lakebed. This totally eliminates anchor strikes, improves safety and environmental protections, and continues to provide Michiganders and neighboring states with the energy they need.
We look forward to working with the Michigan Public Service Commission (MPSC) to address citizen concerns, as the MPSC gives ample opportunity for all Michiganders to be heard—while preventing the process from being misused to promote issues unrelated to the project.
Recent surveys show most Michiganders support the Great Lakes Tunnel project, including the replacement pipeline. Enbridge is committed to building it in a way that improves safety and environmental protections for years to come.
