INGAA CEO Applauds US House for Passing the Lower Energy Costs Act

3/30/2023

WASHINGTON, DC (P&GJ) — Interstate Natural Gas Association of America (INGAA) President and CEO Amy Andryszak has issued a statement in support of H.R. 1 - the Lower Energy Costs Act, which passed in the U.S. House of Representatives with a bipartisan vote of 225-204.

“The Interstate Natural Gas Association of America (INGAA) appreciates that the U.S. House of Representatives prioritized energy and permitting reform issues in the first major piece of legislation in the 118th Congress,” Andryszak said. “H.R. 1, the Lower Energy Costs Act, would expedite permitting timelines and judicial reviews for energy infrastructure – statutory changes needed to build projects from pipelines to powerlines that would make it possible to meet this country’s energy, economic, security, and climate-related goals."

She continued, "INGAA supports the provisions in the Lower Energy Costs act that enable efficient and consistent development of energy infrastructure in order to continue delivering the benefits of natural gas to the American people. The passing of H.R. 1 advances the conversation about bipartisan federal permitting reform legislation, and we look forward to collaborating with Senators on both sides of the aisle to achieve that goal.”
