LNG is an abbreviation for Liquefied Natural Gas. Natural gas is composed almost entirely of methane although it does contain small amounts of other gases--ethane, propane, butane, and pentane.
What Are the Segments of the Natural Gas Industry?
The natural gas industry is divided into three major segments: Production, Transmission and Distribution.
PURA is responsible for regulating the rates and services of Connecticut’s two investor-owned electric distribution companies (EDCs): The Connecticut Light and Power Company dba Eversource Energy (Eversource) and The United Illuminating Company (UI), in accordance with applicable statutes and regulations.
