Southern Natural Gas - Elba Express Pipeline

Elba Express, a subsidiary of Southern Natural Gas, has proposed plans to construct, own, and operate the new 190-mile Elba Express interstate natural gas pipeline. With a total capacity of approximately 1.2 billion cubic feet per day, the new pipeline will increase natural gas transportation capacity from the Elba Island LNG terminal to markets in Georgia and, through interconnections with other pipelines, to the southeastern and eastern United States. Receiving supply from Elba Island, the new pipeline will run northwest, interconnecting with pipelines and customers along its route. The pipeline, expected to be in-service in mid-2010, will consist of 42-inch and 36-inch pipe. An additional compressor station on the pipeline will be constructed later to increase capacity in 2012.

On March 30, 2007, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) issued the Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) for the project. To access more information on the FERC website click here.
