This is a point-level arithmetic screen using HIFLD/Platts AVAILCAP data at a reference 8,000 Btu/kWh heat rate. It is NOT a path-to-meter deliverability assessment. FERC IOC contract allocation, hourly flow caps, inlet pressure, gas quality, and engineering path confirmation are not available in this dataset. Receipt points may not serve as delivery taps for new industrial load.

Analysis

VICTORIA INVST M4400 MP 200.1 (TRANSCONTINENTAL GAS PIPE LINE COMPANY, LLC, 5.59 mi) reports 36,894 Dth/day available capacity, equivalent to 192.2 MW net at an assumed 8,000 Btu/kWh heat rate — above the 50 MW threshold. 7 of 13 inventoried points within 25 mi exceed 50 MW equivalent. This is a point-level arithmetic screen using posted AVAILCAP data, not a path-to-meter deliverability assessment; hourly flow limits, pressure, engineering path, and service terms remain unconfirmed.

The site is located in Victoria County, TX, within the Gulf Coast gas transmission corridor. Seven distinct pipeline operators serve the 25-mile radius: Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line (Transco), Tennessee Gas Pipeline, Florida Gas Transmission, Trunkline Gas Company, Natural Gas Pipeline of America (Kinder Morgan), Kinetica Partners, and Texas Eastern Transmission. The nearest delivery point — VICTORIA INVST M4400 MP 200.1 on Transco's system — reports 66,894 Dth/day design capacity with 36,894 Dth/day available (AVAILCAP), equivalent to 192.2 MW net at the reference heat rate.

Per the BTM50-US-V3:GSH methodology, several decision gates remain unresolved from available data: GSH_SERVICE (no hourly/seasonal flow or pressure data), GSH_ENGINEERING (no lateral/meter path confirmation), and GSH_HEAT_RATE (assumed, not project-supported). The AVAILCAP figure is an undated Platts snapshot; current operator postings should be verified. This screening result is conditional on confirming the delivery path, pressure, and service terms with the pipeline operator.
