Environmental groups challenge FERC’s limited pipeline review
February 19, 2025
Sierra Club and Public Citizen are urging the D.C. Circuit to reject the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission’s decision to review only a 1,000-foot section of the 157-mile Saguaro Connector Pipeline. The groups argue FERC lacked evidence to support its claim that the pipeline would transport only Texas-produced gas, which affects its jurisdiction. They say the project should be reviewed in full, as its sole purpose is to export gas to Mexico. The case is ongoing.
