Exhibit 99.1
FERC REJECTS REQUEST FOR ABANDONMENT RULING ON TRANSCO FACILITIES
DALLAS, March 24 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Crosstex Energy, L.P. (Nasdaq:
XTEX) announced today that the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) has voted to reject the request by Crosstex and Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line Corporation (Transco) to authorize the abandonment from interstate service of certain pipeline facilities that are owned by Transco in South Texas (the South Texas Facilities). In July 2004, Crosstex announced that it entered into an agreement with Transco to purchase the South Texas Facilities for $27.4 million, conditioned upon receipt of the abandonment ruling from FERC. In light of the decision, the two companies are reviewing their alternatives and the status of their agreement.
"We are disappointed by the decision and have certainly looked forward to the possibility of operating the South Texas Facilities. We remain committed to expanding our asset base in this key region and will continue to pursue opportunities as they arise," said Barry E. Davis, President and Chief Executive Officer. "In addition, we will continue to pursue the many opportunities for growth that we have in other key gas markets, including the recently announced North Texas pipeline project."
