Natural Gas Pipelines president Sital Mody said: “This transformative project will benefit the south-east region as it will provide incremental access to diverse sources of supply.
“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.
“We are in final discussions with customers for up to an additional 0.4 billion cubic feet per day (bcf/d) of long-term commitments, which would require additional capital for incremental horsepower.”
The MSX project, with an estimated cost of approximately $1.4bn, is designed to transport up to 1.5bcf/d of natural gas.

The Mississippi Crossing project is expected to be in service by November 2028, pending the receipt of all required permits and clearances.
Kinder Morgan CEO Kim Dang said: “The fundamentals in the natural gas market are robust, with significant growth expected over the next five years from LNG [liquefied natural gas] exports, exports to Mexico and power generation.
“With today’s announcement, KMI has sanctioned approximately $3.1bn (KMI share) in expansion capital between the SNG South System 4 expansion and TGP’s Mississippi Crossing Project. We expect to announce additional projects in the coming months.”
