Chesapeake Utilities Launches Florida Energy Pathway Project with $1.2B Investment

Chesapeake Utilities and its subsidiary, Peninsula Pipeline Company, announced the Florida Energy Pathway, a new intrastate natural gas infrastructure project in south Florida. This project will be developed, constructed and operated by PPC in order to expand natural gas transportation capacity to address regional supply constraints, enhance system reliability and extend natural gas infrastructure to serve homes and businesses. FEP is anticipated to be a 24-inch intrastate natural gas pipeline originating in Palm Beach County and terminating in Miami-Dade County. The project is anchored by firm commitments totaling nearly 250,000 dekatherms per day from multiple investment grade shippers. Upstream capacity will be supplied by Florida Gas Transmission in conjunction with its Phase IX expansion. PPC is also accepting binding commitments with additional shippers for firm transportation service. Total project investment is estimated to be approximately $1.2B, pending finalization of design and development activities. The project is anticipated to be in service in 2030, subject to final commissioning. Chesapeake Utilities is evaluating options for financing the project and intends to partner with one or more third parties to invest in and own up to 49% of the total project.
