Background

The Gulfstream Natural Gas Pipeline is operated by Williams Partners L.P. It is jointly owned by Williams (50%) and Spectra Energy Partners L.P. (50%). It was the first and is still the largest gas pipeline in the Gulf of Mexico.

Expansion projects

Phase VI Expansion Project

According to the U.S.'s Energy Information Agency (EIA), the expansion will increase the operating pressure of the Gulfstream pipeline, to serve Tampa Electric Company's Big Bend power plant. The project is a part of a larger project aimed at converting the Big Bend Power Plant from coal to natural gas.

According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, as of April 2021 the project has applied for FERC approval, and as of October 2022 it was under construction.
