Tennessee Gas Pipeline, L.L.C., a subsidiary of Kinder Morgan, Inc., has confirmed its commitment to the Mississippi Crossing Project after securing long-term, binding transportation agreements for the project’s full capacity.
“The MSX Project will deliver significant benefits to the Southeast region by providing increased access to diverse natural gas supplies,” said Sital Mody, president of Natural Gas Pipelines. “This additional capacity will help meet growing energy demand and reduce costs, creating opportunities for power generators and other energy suppliers to support new residential, commercial, and industrial developments. We are also in discussions with customers for up to an additional 0.4 billion cubic feet per day of commitments, which could necessitate further capital investment for additional horsepower.”
The MSX Project, valued at approximately $1.4 billion, is designed to transport up to 1.5 Bcf/d of natural gas. The project includes the construction of nearly 206 miles of 42-inch and 36-inch pipeline and two new compressor stations. It will originate near Greenville, Mississippi, and terminate near Butler, Alabama, with connections to TGP’s existing network and third-party pipelines. These enhancements will enable critical supply access from multiple natural gas basins. Subject to obtaining necessary permits and approvals, the project is slated to begin operations in November 2028.
Kim Dang, CEO of Kinder Morgan, highlighted the significance of this investment: “The natural gas market fundamentals remain strong, with substantial growth anticipated in the next five years driven by LNG exports, exports to Mexico, and power generation needs. With the MSX Project and the SNG South System 4 Expansion, Kinder Morgan has committed approximately $3.1 billion (KMI share) in expansion capital. We look forward to announcing additional projects in the near future.”
The MSX Project reinforces Kinder Morgan’s commitment to addressing the Southeast region’s energy needs while supporting market growth and economic development.
