Project Details

• Owner: CenterPoint Energy
• Proposed capacity: 228 million cubic feet per day
• Length: 124 kilometers / 77 miles
• Status: Cancelled
• Start Year: 2019

Background

The pipeline is owned by Enable Midstream Partners, a subsidiary of CenterPoint Energy. The 20-year contract will support the planned conversion of two 500 megawatt coal-fired generating units to natural gas.

Under federal environmental rules, Enable Midstream Partners will convert two of its three Muskogee coal units to natural gas. The utility expects to spend $70 million to convert two, 500-megawatt coal units to natural gas. This will include 77 miles of 20-inch pipeline and metering facilities to the Muskogee plant.

There have been no development updates since 2016 and the project is presumed to be cancelled.
