Sabal Trail Gas Pipeline Seeks Extra Two Years to Wrap Construction
Published Date: 4/8/2025
Notice
Summary
Sabal Trail Transmission, LLC is asking for two more years—until May 1, 2027—to finish building the last part of their gas pipeline project in Georgia and Florida. They’ve already completed most of the work and have long-term contracts for most of the pipeline’s capacity. This extension gives them extra time to install two compressor units without rushing, affecting local energy infrastructure and project timelines.
Analyzed Economic Effects
3 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 0 costs, 3 mixed.
Two‑Year Construction Deadline Extension
Sabal Trail asked the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission for an extension until May 1, 2027 to finish Phase III of its pipeline project located in Dougherty County, Georgia and Suwannee County, Florida. The original Order required completion by May 1, 2021 and the current deadline had been May 1, 2025.
Final Work: Two Compressor Units
The remaining Phase III work involves installing two compressor units—one at each of two existing compressor stations—on sites owned in fee by Sabal Trail. Sabal Trail requested until May 1, 2027 to complete the commercialization and construction of this final portion.
Most Capacity Already Subscribed
Sabal Trail reports it has placed Phase I and II into service totaling 999,000 dekatherms per day (Dth/d) of capacity and that over 94 percent of pipeline capacity has been subscribed under long‑term firm contracts.
