A rendering of Ameren Missouri’s proposed Big Hollow Energy Center (click for larger version)
Enable Mississippi River Transmission (MRT), a subsidiary of Energy Transfer, has applied for federal approval to build a 9.5-mile natural gas pipeline under the Mississippi River (cue the crazies who will predict an environmental holocaust). The project aims to supply natural gas to Ameren’s upcoming Big Hollow Energy Center in Jefferson County, Missouri, which will replace the retired Rush Island coal plant. We told you about Big Hollow last week (see Missouri to Get Gas-Peaker Coupled with Battery Backup Fed by M-U). The facility will feature gas-fired generation alongside battery storage. And yes, Marcellus/Utica gas will likely flow through this 9.5-mile pipeline to the Big Hollow Energy Center. Another new customer for our molecules.
