$1.6B South Mississippi gas pipeline gets greenlight

(The Center Square) - Energy Transfer announced Tuesday it will build a 215-mile pipeline crossing parts of eastern Louisiana and southern Mississippi that will supply natural gas to electric utilities, liquefied natural gas export terminals and AI data center hubs, although a final route has not yet been determined.

The $1.6 billion South Mississippi Pipeline would originate at the Perryville natural gas hub in Richland Parish, Louisiana, just miles from Meta’s $50 billion Hyperion AI data center now under construction in Rayville.
