- Work on the Mountain Valley Pipeline has been halted after a West Virginia county court ordered a temporary stay on a state stream preservation permit related to the project's crossing of the Greenbrier River in West Virginia.
- The petitioners argued the state's Environmental Protection department permit for the crossing is not in compliance with the Natural Streams Preservation Act.
- Height Capital analysts say the project still has enough buffer time in its schedule to meet its Q4 2019 in-service target, even in a worst-case scenario in which a route change is required.
- The project is a joint venture of EQT Corp. (EQT, EQM), NextEra Energy (NYSE:NEE), Consolidated Edison (NYSE:ED), AltaGas (OTCPK:ATGFF) and RGC Midstream.
