ORDER SUSPENDING TARIFF
BY THE COMMISSION:
Background
On June 	8, 2026, Coastal Connect Services, LLC (CCS), 	filed a petition for approval of a
natural 	gas 	pipeline 	transmission 	tariff and a firm 	transportation 	service agreement. CCS 	is 	a
limited 	liability company formed under Texas law and registered 	to do business 	in 	Florida 	in
accordance with Section 607.1505, 	Florida 	Statutes 	(F.S.). 	Consistent with 	Section 368.103(4),
F.S., CCS does not own or operate any 	facilities primarily for the local distribution of natural gas
or 	that 	is 	subject 	to 	the jurisdiction of the 	Federal Energy Regulatory Commission under 	the
Natural Gas Act, 	15 U.S.C. 	ss. 717 	et seq. Additionally, CCS 	is not a municipality or any agency
thereof or a special 	district created by special act to distribute natural gas.
In 	its 	petition, CCS 	stated 	that 	the 	reason 	it 	is 	requesting 	approval 	of a 	natural 	gas
pipeline transmission 	tariff is to 	fill a specific need for the 	safe, timely, and efficient delivery of
natural 	gas. 	Specifically, CCS 	seeks 	to 	provide 	natural 	gas 	transmission 	service 	to 	Space
Exploration Technologies Company (SpaceX). SpaceX operates 	facilities on Cape Canaveral 	in
Brevard County where 	it launches 	a 	variety of materials and humans 	into 	space 	for multiple
customers including the U.S. Department of Defense. CCS 	stated in 	its petition 	that as SpaceX’s
operations continue 	to grow, 	it has a growing need for 	significant supplies of natural gas, which
it liquifies for use as rocket fuel.
If the petition 	is approved, CCS would own the anticipated pipeline 	facility and serve as
the 	transportation 	service 	provider. 	CCS’s 	capacity 	is 	presently 	contemplated 	to 	be 	fully

obligated. This means that CCS’s first customer, SpaceX, would contract for all of the
contemplated capacity on the new pipeline facility.
In a letter to Commission staff dated June 25, 2026, CCS waived the file and suspend
provision of Section 368.105(3), F.S., until the August 2026 Agenda Conference. Commission
staff issued a data request on June 26, 2026, for which responses were received on July 10, 2026.
We have jurisdiction over this matter pursuant to Sections 368.104 and 368.105, F.S.
Decision
Pursuant to Section 368.105(3), F.S., we may withhold consent to the operation of all or
any portion of a new rate schedule, delivering to the natural gas transmission company
requesting such a change a reason or written statement of good cause for doing so within 45
days.
By letter dated June 25, 2026, CCS waived the file and suspend provision in Section
368.105(3), F.S., to allow us to address the tariff suspension at our August 2026 Agenda
Conference.
Commission staff requires sufficient time to review the petition and gather all pertinent
information in order to present us with an informed recommendation on the proposed tariff. We
find that this constitutes good cause consistent with the requirements of Section 368.105(3), F.S.
Therefore, CCS’s proposed natural gas pipeline transmission tariff shall be suspended.
Based on the foregoing, it is
ORDERED by the Florida Public Service Commission that Coastal Connect Services,
LLC’s proposed natural gas pipeline transmission tariff is hereby suspended. It is further
ORDERED that this docket shall remain open pending final resolution of Coastal
Connect Services, LLC’s proposed tariff and firm transportation service agreement.
