Tennessee Gas sanctions $1.4bn Mississippi Crossing project
Tennessee Gas Pipeline, a subsidiary of Kinder Morgan, said December 19 it had sanctioned the $1.4bn Mississippi Crossing (MSX) Project, a 1.5bn ft3/day interstate pipeline extending 206 miles from Greenville, Mississippi to Butler, Alabama, after securing binding transportation agreements for all of its capacity.
“This transformative project will benefit the Southeast region as it will provide incremental access to diverse sources of supply,” said Natural Gas Pipelines President Sital Mody. “The additional supply will help satisfy growing energy demand and lower energy costs, allowing power generators and other energy suppliers in the region to attract new residential, commercial and industrial opportunities.”
Mody said final discussions are underway with potential customers for up to an additional 400mn ft3/day of capacity which could be added with additional compression.
Pending the receipt of all required permits and clearances, the project is expected to be placed in service in November 2028.
The MSX Project is the latest to be sanctioned by Kinder Morgan representing some $3.1bn (net) of expansion capital, between its SNG South System 4 expansion and the MSX Project. Additional projects are expected to be announced in the coming months, Kinder Morgan CEO Kim Dang said.
