On September 9, 2026, Florida Gas Transmission Company, LLC (FGT) filed an application for a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) to construct additional facilities to our existing interstate natural gas pipeline system.

Florida Gas Transmission – Your clean energy partner
FGT is an interstate pipeline company with offices in Maitland, Florida, and Houston, Texas, and has employees at field offices along our vast pipeline system. FGT operates an approximately 5,366-mile natural gas pipeline system that runs from South Texas to Homestead, Florida. The FGT pipeline system has been safely supplying natural gas to Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and the majority of Florida’s natural gas needs for over 60 years through an extensive network of underground pipelines.
Phase IX Project – Its scope and purpose
The Phase IX Project proposal refers to FGT’s proposal to add approximately 95 miles of mainline looping on its existing mainline system across 14 Counties in Mississippi and Florida, modify/add compression at FGT’s existing compressor stations in 13 Counties in Alabama and Florida, add 2 new compressor stations in 2 Counties in Florida, to transport incremental capacity of up to 526,750 MMBtu/d of firm transportation service for power electric generation and supplying local distribution companies for homes, businesses, and essential industries.
FGT proposes to commence construction in the fourth quarter 2027, in order to meet the customer’s requested in-service date for the project of December 1, 2028.
The purpose of the Phase IX Project is to provide additional firm transportation capacity up to 526,750 million British thermal units per day (MMBtu/d) of natural gas to be utilized by power electric generation and supplying local distribution companies for homes, businesses, and essential industries.
