Background

The pipeline extends from a point of connection with Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company in McNairy County, Tennessee, through the northeast corner of Mississippi and the northern part of Alabama to Morgan and Madison Counties, Alabama.[5]

In November 2017 a new connection was completed between the AlaTenn pipeline and Southern Gas in Alabama that will enable it to deliver additional Northeast Marcellus gas to the southeast.[6]

The AlaTenn Gas Pipeline was owned and operated by Third Coast Midstream, formerly American Midstream.[7] In September 2020, Black Bear Transmission LLC announced its acquisition of Third Coast's natural gas assets in Alabama, Louisiana and Mississippi. The assets included six intrastate natural gas pipelines spanning approximately 1,400 miles with a total capacity of 800 Mmcf/day.[3]

In July 2023, AlaTenn pipeline system (now BBT AlaTenn) started delivering natural gas supply for commissioning three new power plant units owned and operated by the Tennessee Valley Authority in Colbert County, Alabama.[8][9]

Expansion Projects

Alabama Compressor Station Upgrade

The upgrade will increase natural gas compression on the AlaTenn pipeline, increasing deliveries to Alabama. Flow through the compressor will increase from 59 million cubic feet per day (MMcf/d) to 97 million cubic feet per day (MMcf/d). The upgrade does not include adding any additional miles of pipeline.[10]
