Spire STL is a 65-mile pipeline that connects to and flows Marcellus/Utica gas from the Rockies Express (REX) pipeline to residents and businesses in the St. Louis, MO area. The pipeline began flowing gas in late 2019 (see Spire Pipeline Ready to Flow Marcellus/Utica Gas to St. Louis). In June 2021, three Democrat judges on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit overturned the certificate the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) issued for building Spire STL (see Fed Court Overturns Marcellus to St. Louis Pipe – Shutdown Coming?). The court's action has reset the project back to starting line. The pipeline continues to operate under a temporary authorization by FERC and is now going through the entire FERC approval process for a second time. The project recently took an important first step forward.
