October 24, 2025 — Pittsburgh, PA: The EQT-led (NYSE:EQT) Mountain Valley Pipeline (MVP) joint venture has filed an application with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) seeking approval for its next growth phase, known as the “MVP Boost Project.”

The expansion would add 600 MMcf/d of incremental capacity to the 303-mile interstate pipeline that entered service in June 2024, delivering Appalachian natural gas to markets across the Mid-Atlantic and Southeast.
MVP said the new capacity is fully subscribed under binding, long-term contracts with investment-grade utilities in North Carolina and Virginia, reflecting robust, demand-driven growth for reliable natural gas supply as regional power generators and utilities seek to balance grid stability and decarbonization goals.
The company launched an open season earlier this year to gauge shipper interest, originally targeting a 500,000 Dth/d increase. Strong market response prompted the larger 600 MMcf/d proposal.
Pending FERC authorization, construction is scheduled for winter 2026-27, with commercial service expected by mid-2028. The project marks the first major capacity enhancement since MVP’s startup and reinforces EQT’s position as the leading U.S. natural-gas producer driving infrastructure-linked market access across the Appalachian Basin.
