Direct Energy said the construction on the CNG production facility and distribution terminal has begun in Manheim, New York.
This follows the announcement last fall that Xpress Natural Gas and Direct Energy Business entered an agreement to deliver compressed natural gas to off-pipeline industrial and commercial businesses and institutions in the State of New York. The facility is anticipated to be fully operational by spring 2015.
“XNG and Direct Energy Business are working together to solve two of the biggest concerns in the New York business community right now via the construction of this terminal, the high cost of traditional energy options, and the lack of competitive alternatives,” said John Nahill , president of XNG . “CNG is enabling companies and communities that currently must rely on expensive heating fuels like oil, propane, and biomass to lower their overall costs, and compete more effectively.”
