  • The MVP Joint Venture has three series, as follows: Series A (MVP A), which owns MVP Mainline; Series B (MVP B), which owns the MVP Southgate project; and Series C (MVP C), which owns certain assets associated with the MVP Boost project.
  • We own an equity method investment in MVP A, which owns MVP Mainline, a 303-mile long, 42-inch diameter natural gas interstate pipeline with a total capacity of 2.0 Bcf per day that spans from our transmission and storage system in Wetzel County, West Virginia to Pittsylvania County, Virginia and has 3 interconnect points to other interstate pipelines.
  • As of December 31, 2025, based on total projected contractual revenues, MVP Mainline's firm transmission and storage contracts had weighted average remaining terms of approximately 19 years.
  • We own an equity method investment in MVP B, which was formed for the purpose of constructing and owning MVP Southgate, a contemplated 31-mile-long, 30-inch diameter natural gas interstate pipeline with a projected capacity of 0.55 Bcf per day that would extend from the terminus of MVP Mainline in Pittsylvania County, Virginia to new delivery points in Rockingham County, North Carolina (MVP Southgate).
  • Pending receipt of remaining regulatory approvals, MVP Southgate is expected to be placed into service by mid-2028.
  • MVP Southgate is estimated to have a total cost of approximately $370 million to $430 million, excluding allowance for funds used during construction (AFUDC) and certain costs incurred for purposes of the originally certificated project, of which we will fund our proportionate share through capital contributions to MVP B.
  • We own an equity method investment in MVP C, which was formed on November 1, 2025 for the purpose of constructing and owning certain assets associated with the MVP Boost project, a contemplated project to add compression to MVP Mainline, which is projected to increase the capacity on MVP Mainline by 0.6 Bcf per day (MVP Boost).
  • As designed, MVP Boost would add compression at three existing compressor stations in West Virginia and construct a new compressor station in Virginia.

  • Additional proposals relating to regulations that affect the oil and gas industry are regularly considered by Congress, the states, regulatory agencies and the courts.
  • The following is a summary of the more significant existing laws, rules and regulations to which our business operations are subject.

  • Changes to rates or terms and conditions of service, and contracts can be proposed by a pipeline company under Section 4 of the NGA, and the existing interstate transmission and storage rates, terms and conditions of service and/or contracts may be challenged by a complaint filed by interested persons including customers, state agencies or the FERC under Section 5 of the NGA.
