KMI Eyes $0.8B for Expansion Projections, JV Contributions


   
   OAKHURST, N.J. (DTN) --- Kinder Morgan, Inc. in its fourth quarter earnings 
release today said it expects to invest $800 million in expansion projects and 
contributions to joint ventures during 2021, while its 2021 budget contemplates 
$2.1 billion in net income attributable to KMI.

   Fourth quarter 2020 net income attributable to KMI was $607 million, down 
from net income of $610 million attributable to KMI in the fourth quarter 2019 
as financial contributions from all of its business segments decline on lower 
energy demand due to the pandemic, lower commodity prices and the December 2018 
sale of Kinder Morgan Canada Limited and the U.S. Cochin Pipeline.

   "Despite the pandemic's continued drag on the economy and energy demand, our 
company weathered the fourth quarter well, producing substantial earnings as 
expected and robust coverage in this quarter's dividend," said KMI Executive 
Chairman Richard D. Kinder.
