Overview
The proposed project is an expansion of the existing Transco pipeline’s capacity in Texas and Louisiana and will support reliability and diversification of energy infrastructure along the Gulf Coast. This project will be regulated by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) under the 7 (c) application filing process to ensure thorough consultation and cooperation with other state, local and federal regulatory agencies, and community stakeholders.
Once approved by FERC, the expansion project will add a total of approximately 364,400 dekatherms per day (Dth/d) of pipeline capacity to the Transco system by the fourth quarter of 2025.
