Mountain Valley Pipeline in-service date pushed back again
Wednesday, May 12, 2021
Equitrans Midstream Corp. recently announced the Mountain Valley Pipeline’s projected in-service date has been pushed back again, according to the Charleston Gazette-Mail.
The company announced it was moving its targeted in-service date from the end of 2021 to the summer of 2022. It predicts the delay will add at least $200 million to the now $6.2 billion project.
The delay was caused by the project’s need to obtain water crossing permits.
The Mountain Valley Pipeline’s original completion date was anticipated for the end of 2018 at a cost of $3.5 billion.
