Lawmakers Seek to Form Natural Gas Commission
The previous owners of the gas pipeline announced a project in 2013 to expand natural gas flow to Aquidneck Island.
SEATTLE (Oil Monster): Rhode Island lawmakers have filed a bill to create a commission to oversee a study of the state's natural gas and electricity system following a weeklong natural gas outage.
The Newport Daily News reports the commission would include the president of National Grid and the president of Enbridge, a Canadian company that owns the gas transmission pipeline that supplies natural gas to National Grid.
National Grid says a dramatic pressure drop forced it to suspend service to thousands of customers in Newport and Middletown in late January.

Democratic state Sen. Lou DiPalma says he specifically wants to know why the plan was dropped.
