Energy Transfer Launches Open Season for Desert Southwest Expansion
Transwestern Pipeline Company, a subsidiary of Energy Transfer, has launched a binding open season for an expansion of its system in Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona to transport supplies of natural gas in the Permian Basin to markets in the Desert Southwest.
The open season begins at 12:00 p.m. CDT on September 26, 2025, and ends at 12:00 p.m. CDT on October 25, 2025.
The Desert Southwest expansion project is a combination of new large-diameter pipeline, compression and metering facilities capable of transporting a minimum of 1.5 billion cubic feet per day of natural gas from various receipt points in the Permian Basin area to existing and new delivery points in New Mexico and Arizona.
Transwestern has secured sufficient binding commitments to proceed with the project. The additional binding commitments submitted in connection with this open season will be included in determining the optimal size and design of the project. Pending necessary regulatory approvals, permits and other related authorizations, the project is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2029.
