Summit Natural Gas of Maine agrees to pay millions owed to contractors for pipeline work
AUGUSTA — The company readying the Kennebec Valley’s massive natural gas pipeline says it has agreed to pay contractors tens of millions of dollars included in a lawsuit against the utility last month.
A top official at Summit Natural Gas of Maine, the company preparing to energize its network stretching from Richmond to Madison, said $38 million has been owed to between 10 and 20 contractors for months, and the company plans to pay money owed to those contractors for work done by Jan. 10.
