 of liquefied natural gas export and power generation demand has led to growth projects for Boardwalk Pipelines. Through the date of this filing, Boardwalk Pipelines has growth projects for which it has executed precedent or long-term firm transportation agreements that are expected to increase capacity on its pipeline systems by an aggregate of 4.2 billion cubic feet per day (“Bcf/d”) at an aggregate cost of approximately $3.0 billion and are scheduled to be completed through 2029. These projects remain contingent upon, among other things, the receipt of required regulatory approvals and permits.

These projects have lengthy planning and construction periods and, as a result, will not contribute to Boardwalk Pipelines’ earnings and cash flows until they receive the required regulatory approvals and permits and are constructed and placed into service over the next several years. For further discussion of capital expenditures and financing, please see Liquidity and Capital Resources: Subsidiaries of this MD&A. Boardwalk Pipelines’ cost and timing estimates for these projects are based on a variety of inputs such as contractor indicative bids, quotes on materials and internally-developed financial models, metrics and timelines and are subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties, including obtaining timely regulatory and permit approvals and the cost thereof, adverse weather conditions during construction, its ability to acquire and the cost of obtaining rights to construct and operate on land not owned by Boardwalk Pipelines, delays in obtaining and shortages and price increases for key materials (including pipe, compressor stations and related equipment), tariff implications and shortages and increased costs of qualified labor. Factors in the estimates include, among other things, those related to pipeline costs based on mileage, size and type of pipe, materials including compressors and related equipment, land, engineering and construction costs and timely receipt of all necessary permits and approvals. Actual costs and timing of in-service dates for Boardwalk Pipelines’ growth projects may differ, perhaps materially, from its estimates. In addition, failure to timely meet development milestones may result in, among other things, contractual counterparties having the ability to terminate contracts with Boardwalk Pipelines. Refer to Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 for additional risks associated with Boardwalk Pipelines’ growth projects and the related financing.
