Minnesota regulators affirm decision on route for new $2.6 billion Enbridge pipeline

State utility regulators Thursday stood by their decision approving a route for Enbridge's controversial new pipeline across northern Minnesota.

The decision by the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission (PUC) was expected, as the PUC rarely rescinds its earlier judgments. The PUC already had voted last month against reconsidering the certificate of need for the $2.6 billion project.
