Governor Lombardo is pushing the Western Gateway Project to cut Nevada’s reliance on California refineries by sourcing fuel directly from Texas and the Mid-Continent.
The Western Gateway Pipeline project is currently targeted to go into service in mid-2029.
Key milestones and status highlights for the project include:
Key Approvals: In August 2026, the primary partners—Phillips 66, Kinder Morgan, and HF Sinclair—reached a final investment decision (FID) to move forward with the project after completing a successful open season earlier in the year.
How It Works: The infrastructure involves building a new pipeline from Borger, Texas to Phoenix, Arizona, while reversing several existing interstate pipelines (including the Gold Pipeline and Kinder Morgan’s SFPP line) to send Midwest and Gulf Coast fuel westbound. This fuel will then tie directly into Las Vegas via the existing CalNev pipeline system.
Current Phase: The project is in the engineering, permitting, and environmental review phase, with construction expected to proceed over the coming years to meet the 2029 target.
Vote for Governor Lombardo. Otherwise, we will be stuck with another 50 years of Democrats blaming Donald Trump and Republicans instead of addressing California's regulatory burden.
