Federal regulators have officially authorized construction to begin on the $1.1 billion Kosciusko Junction Pipeline Project, moving the major multi-county energy effort from the planning stage into active development.
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) issued a notice to proceed to developers Gulf South Pipeline Co. and Texas Gas Transmission. The decision clears work on nearly all phases of the project, following FERC’s initial approval in September.
Key Details of the Project:
- Local Infrastructure: Gulf South will build 103 miles of 36-inch pipeline through Attala, Leake, Newton, Jasper, and Clarke counties, along with a new 51,554-horsepower compressor station in Attala County.
- Additional Expansion: The buildout includes an 8-mile lateral pipeline in Humphreys and Sunflower counties, a new compressor station in Holmes County, and upgrades to existing facilities. FERC is holding a separate review for planned work at the Greenville Compressor Station.
- Regional Capacity: The system will transport up to 1.175 million dekatherms per day of natural gas to power plants and energy providers across the Southeast, backed by long-term customer agreements.
The decision allows developers to begin site preparation and construction work across the region.
