Natural gas pipeline projects in the U.S. in 2025 added about 6.3 Bcf/d of capacity, with 85% allocated to the South Central region. The majority of new capacity, 65%, came from intrastate pipelines, which are not regulated by the FERC.

Significant projects include the Louisiana Energy Gateway and New Generation Gas Gathering system, which together contributed 3.5 Bcf/d to connect the Haynesville formation to the Gillis Hub. Additionally, the Evangeline Pass Expansion and East Lateral Xpress projects provided 1.4 Bcf/d directly to Plaquemines LNG, which began shipping in 2025.
