Leaf River Energy Center is a high-deliverability natural gas storage hub strategically located in southeastern Mississippi. Consisting of three salt caverns with a combined natural gas storage capacity of 32.2 million dekatherms, it is the third largest underground salt cavern storage facility in the Gulf Coast region. Its 40-mile, dual 24” pipeline header system interconnects with seven natural gas pipelines – Tennessee Gas, Destin, Transco, Southern Natural Gas, Midcontinent Express, Gulf South, and Venture Oil & Gas – and serves as a critical bridge between the shale plays and the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic and Southeast markets.
