MVP Southgate construction begins

Construction on MVP Southgate began in Virginia in March after the project received all necessary permits and authorizations.

Initial work included clearing time-of-year-restricted trees and preparing contractor yards for materials and equipment. Crews have since begun work along the pipeline right-of-way.

The construction and operation of MVP Southgate is expected to deliver substantial economic benefits throughout the region. During construction, according to an analysis by FTI Consulting, the project is expected to:

  • Support nearly 1,000 jobs in Virginia and NorthCarolina.
  • Provide average pay of $64,400.
  • Generate more than $10 million in state and local tax revenue.

MVP Southgate is targeted to enter service in 2028, providing the region with critically important access to additional supplies ofaffordable, reliable and lower-carbon natural gas for homes, businesses and electricity generation.

Crew members prepare to start work on the MVP Southgate project in Virginia.
