Summary
Texas Eastern Transmission is planning to replace the Kosciusko Compressor Station to keep natural gas flowing safely and meet new air quality rules.

This means local communities and customers can expect a smoother, cleaner energy future without big disruptions.
Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 0 costs, 1 mixed.
Compressor Replacement to Keep Gas Flowing
Texas Eastern proposes to remove 14 reciprocating compressor units (about 35,000 horsepower) and install three new gas turbine units (about 37,500 horsepower) at the Kosciusko Compressor Station in Attala County, Mississippi. The company says the replacement would ensure continued safe and reliable natural gas operation, meet current air emissions requirements, and minimize disruption to customers.
Environmental Review Will Address Air and Youth Concerns
FERC staff will prepare an Environmental Assessment (EA) for the project, issue the EA on May 8, 2026 for a 30-day comment period, and will address substantive comments received about fossil fuel air pollution, air quality, and effects on youth populations in the EA. Interested local parties can submit comments and the EA will respond to those substantive issues.
