Oct 21 (Reuters) - U.S. environmental group the Sierra
Club said on Friday that the Mountain Valley Pipeline (MVP) is
abandoning legal efforts in North Carolina to secure land
necessary for its proposed Southgate extension.  
    Were it completed, the Southgate project would have added 75
miles (121 km) of pipeline from Southern Virginia into central
North Carolina, the statement by Sierra Club read, adding that
without the land, the extension is unlikely to ever be built.  
        Mountain Valley - owned by units of Equitrans  ETRN.N ,
NextEra Energy Inc  NEE.N , Consolidated Edison Inc  ED.N ,
AltaGas Ltd  ALA.TO  and RGC Resources  RGCO.O  - is one of
several U.S. pipeline projects delayed by regulatory and legal
fights with environmental and local groups that found problems
with federal permits issued during President Donald Trump's
administration.  urn:newsml:reuters.com:*:nL1N2YE0YW
