Monroe Gas Storage Company, LLC (MGS) is currently constructing a new natural gas storage facility in northeastern Mississippi near the city of Amory. When completed, the facility will provide firm and interruptible natural gas storage services and will interconnect with two major pipelines (Texas Eastern Transmission Company -- TETCO and Tennessee Gas Pipeline --TGP). The storage field will serve the expanding energy needs of Mississippi and other areas of the Southeast, as well as the Mid-Continent and Northeastern United States. The facility will be constructed with the highest standards of safety and environmental concern, and when fully operational, is anticipated to have an estimated working gas capacity of 10.1 Bcf, utilizing 3-turn service.
