Governor Sean Parnell welcomed the news that TransCanada, BP, ConocoPhillips, and ExxonMobil have announced their selection of Nikiski as the lead site for a terminal of an all-Alaska natural gas pipeline.
The companies have agreed to pursue the acquisition of property in the Nikiski area to site the liquefaction facilities associated with the Alaska LNG project.
“This is real progress toward our administration’s goal of getting a natural gas pipeline to provide lower cost energy for Alaskans,” Governor Parnell said. “This project is taking shape and the companies’ commitment will help bring Alaska’s gas to Alaskans and markets beyond. This presents a new opportunity for synergy and alignment among the producers and the project being pursued by the Alaska Gasline Development Corporation.”
Governor Parnell will continue to aggressively pursue an all-Alaska gasline to fuel Alaskans’ homes and businesses.
