Mountain Valley Pipeline requests FERC extension to October 2026
Thursday, June 30, 2022
Mountain Valley Pipeline LLC has requested an extension from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission that would give it until October 2026 to finish construction on the project, according to Natural Gas Intelligence.
Mountain Valley Pipeline asked the FERC for more time to finish construction in a letter filed last Friday due to “ongoing legal and permitting challenges.”
Since receiving a FERC certificate in 2017, the 300-mile, 2 million Dth/d Appalachia-to-Southeast natural gas conduit has faced numerous legal and regulatory setbacks that have delayed startup and driven up costs.
