increased capital spending associated
with our natural gas system to install
new pipes and equipment to build in
greater redundancy and connect more
customers. We're expanding our gas
system from Groton to Torrington, sup-
porting commercial growth, investing
in new regional gas transmission, and
enabling fuel cell development.
We support our region's rapid
development of clean generating
sources and are proud of the an-
nouncement we made to become a
partner on Bay State Wind. Joining
with Danish Oil and Natural Gas, the
largest builder of offshore wind in
the world, we are proposing the first
large-scale, offshore wind farm in
North America. It has the potential to
power 1 million homes.
Access Northeast is a natural gas
pipeline expansion and storage
project being jointly developed with
Spectra Energy and National Grid. It
will increase the region's natural gas
capacity, giving more customers the
opportunity to change their primary
heating source from oil to cleaner,
more efficient natural gas.
Northern Pass Transmission is our
partnership with Hydro-Quebec, one
of the world's largest generators
of hydroelectric power. It will bring
clean, renewable hydropower from
Canada into New England.
Our Commitment to Reliability
Eversource continues to invest
heavily in projects that improve the
reliability of the region's electric and
natural gas grids. Our electric systems
are more reliable and our gas business
has grown faster than at any time in
decades. We're proud of the value our
systems bring every day to our custom-
ers and communities.
