Initially proposed in 2014, the project took nearly a decade to complete after numerous permitting challenges in federal court, which repeatedly caused construction to be suspended. The MVP's developer reported the mechanical completion of the pipeline on June 10, 2024, and was authorized to place the pipeline into commercial service the following day. A separate pipeline, the MVP Southgate Project-still in development-would extend the MVP into North Carolina. The MVP's construction challenges, its operation, and the status of Southgate are of continuing interest to Congress. Figure I.
