Project details

• Owner: Kinder Morgan
• Parent company: Kinder Morgan
• Capacity: 167,000 bpd
• Length: 360 mi
• Status: Cancelled
• Start year:

Background

The project would have included construction of a pipeline, tanks and pump stations. It was estimated to cost $1.1 billion.

In May of 2016, Georgia passed a moratorium on pipeline companies' ability to seize property owners' land through eminent domain, effectively halting the Palmetto pipeline.

The project was suspended by Kinder Morgan in 2016. There have been no development updates since 2016 and the project is presumed to be cancelled.
