MVP Delays Startup from June 1 to “Early June” – Testing 99% Done

We suppose it was inevitable following a rupture in a segment of the 303-mile Mountain Valley Pipeline (MVP) during pressurized water testing (see Section of MVP Ruptures Near Roanoke Under Water Pressure Test) that the in-service date would slip. And so it has. In a filing with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) on Tuesday, MVP sought to set the record straight about the rupture and signal to FERC that it would now be "early June" before the pipeline was ready to go online. On the plus side, some 99% of the pipeline has been successfully pressure tested, including a replaced segment where the rupture happened in Roanoke County, VA.
