Energy Transfer LP has reached a final investment decision (FID) for a significant expansion of its Transwestern Pipeline, the company announced on Wednesday, August 6.

Estimated to cost $5.3 billion, the Desert Southwest pipeline expansion project aims to increase natural gas supply to markets in Arizona and New Mexico, meeting the growing energy demands driven by population growth, the high-tech industry, and the rapid expansion of data centres.

According to the announcement, the project involves constructing 516 miles of 42-inch pipeline and nine new compressor stations across Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas. 

With a design capacity of 1.5 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d), the expansion will transport natural gas from Energy Transfer's Permian Basin assets. 

Energy Transfer stated the project will enhance system reliability and provide additional supply options for the rapidly growing cities in the Southwestern U.S.

The project's total cost includes $600 million for Allowance for Funds Used During Construction (AFUDC), supported by long-term commitments from investment-grade customers. 

The company also plans to launch an open season for the remaining capacity later this quarter, anticipating it will be fully subscribed, with the project expected to create up to 5,000 local and union construction jobs, prioritizing the use of U.S. steel pipe manufacturers. 

With the FID reached, the company projects the pipeline to be operational by the fourth quarter of 2029, building on the Transwestern Pipeline's history of service since 1960.

Energy Transfer owns and operates one of the largest energy asset portfolios in the United States, with approximately 140,000 miles of pipeline. The company's network connects to energy providers and nearly 200 natural gas-fired power plants across 44 states.
