Speak Up: FERC Seeks Input on Mississippi Gas Station Tweaks
Published Date: 7/27/2026
Notice
Summary
Southeast Supply Header, LLC wants to upgrade gas compressor stations in parts of Mississippi and Louisiana, and the government is asking the public for input on how this might affect the environment. If you live nearby or care about nature, now’s your chance to speak up before August 21, 2026. This feedback will help decide if the project moves forward and how it might impact the community and environment.
Analyzed Economic Effects
3 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 2 costs, 0 mixed.
Landowners May Be Asked for Easements
If you own land near the proposed compressor stations, the pipeline company may contact you to negotiate an easement to construct and operate facilities. You do not have to agree, but if FERC approves the project the Natural Gas Act conveys eminent domain authority to the company and it could initiate condemnation proceedings where a judge determines compensation under state law.
Local Environmental Impacts and Land Use Change
Construction at the Lucedale Compressor Station would disturb 11.7 acres of land and leave 0.5 acre maintained for permanent operation; the project involves installing a new 23,470-horsepower natural gas turbine and other compressor work. FERC will evaluate effects on air quality, noise, water, wildlife, threatened species, cultural resources, and socioeconomics as part of the environmental review.
More Natural Gas to Power Plant, Boosting Grid Reliability
The project would provide an additional 110,000 dekatherms per day of natural gas to the Plant Daniel electric generation facility in Jackson County, Mississippi, which FERC says would help serve growing power demand, increase grid reliability, and support Southern Company's planned conversion of an existing coal-fired unit to natural gas.
