Energy Transfer’s 17.7-mile gas pipeline for data center project under federal review
A proposed natural gas pipeline in southern New Mexico designed to supply a large-scale data center development is moving through federal review, as regulators evaluate environmental impacts and project dependencies.
The Green Chile Pipeline Project, submitted to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), would consist of a 17.7-mile, 24-inch-diameter pipeline built by Transwestern Pipeline LLC, a subsidiary of Energy Transfer. The line is intended to deliver natural gas to the planned Project Jupiter data center, which would rely on on-site microgrid power generation, KFOX14 News reported.
The project, estimated at more than $60 million, is designed to transport over 400,000 dekatherms of gas per day and would primarily cross federal land, with a smaller portion requiring state approval, according to KFOX14.
Regulatory decisions and public comments are expected by April 13. However, the pipeline’s future remains tied to separate air permitting for the data center’s power generation facilities, raising questions about project timing and overall viability.
