Pipeline to Green Ohio Plant Gets Fast-Track Review Timeline

Notice
Summary
Texas Gas Transmission is planning to build a new natural gas pipeline to help a power plant in Ohio switch from coal to cleaner natural gas. This project affects Indiana, Kentucky, and Ohio and aims to deliver a lot of gas every day. The government will finish an environmental check by January 15, 2027, with final decisions by April 15, 2027, so things are moving on a clear timeline.
Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 1 costs, 0 mixed.
Landowners face property and farming impacts
Texas Gas would build an approximately 11.8-mile, 20-inch interstate natural gas pipeline through Indiana, Kentucky, and Ohio to deliver up to 265,000 dekatherms per day. Private landowners along the route may see impacts to farming operations, maple syrup and honey production, woodlands, groundwater and drinking-water springs, stocked ponds and outflow structures, farmland privacy, and property values, and commenters raised concerns about increased trespassing and the possible use of eminent domain.
Environmental review timeline set by FERC
FERC staff intends to issue an Environmental Assessment (EA) on January 15, 2027. The EA will be available for a 30-day public comment period, and the 90-day Federal Authorization Decision deadline for agencies is April 15, 2027.
