Tallgrass Energy wins Alerian MLP Award

Tallgrass Energy Partners (TEP) is the recipient of a 2017 Alerian MLP Award (Ammy): Most Innovative MLP. The awards, created by Alerian, recognise excellence in the MLP industry and are the MLP world’s version of the Emmys, Espys and Oscars. The top 25 MLP-dedicated funds and top 25 sell-side analysts voted to select the winner in this category.

Tallgrass Energy President and Chief Executive, David G. Dehaemers Jr said: “We’re humbled and honored to receive this award. We’ve worked hard in the four plus years since our inception to provide value to our partners, customers and employees. This recognition validates those efforts.”

In naming TEP Most Innovative MLP for 2017, Alerian cited the company’s work to transform REX into the nation’s northernmost bi-directional natural gas header system. The completion of the REX Zone 3 Capacity Enhancement project – which went in service in January 2017 – marked the culmination of a series of projects that increased REX’s total capacity in zone 3 to 4.4 billion cubic feet of natural gas per day.

Tallgrass is a growth-oriented midstream energy operator with transportation, storage, terminal and processing assets that serve some of the nation’s most prolific crude oil and natural gas basins.
