Borealis

The Borealis Project is in the early‑phase of project development, wherein stakeholder engagement and landowner survey permission activities are taking place. These activities help us determine a viable route option thanks to on-the ground inspections and feedback from local officials.

While the scope is still being finalized, there are two main components of the Borealis project we plan to focus on:

Borealis Mainline Pipeline:

• 264‑miles of new natural gas pipeline from Ohio to Kentucky
• 1.75 Bcf/d of additional natural gas capacity
• 79% of the pipeline route is proposed to be built alongside existing utility corridors
• Additional compression at our existing station in Indiana

Borealis Supply Leg Pipeline:

• 198 miles of new natural gas pipeline in Ohio
• 2 Bcf/d of additional natural gas capacity
• 96% of the pipeline route is proposed to be built alongside existing utility corridors
• Two new compressor stations in Ohio

Preliminary Pipeline Route

The Borealis Project pipeline route is not final and may change based on survey results, or engineering and environmental studies.
