The Alaska Senate on Tuesday passed Senate Bill 138, the Alaska governor’s legislation to advance a large-diameter Alaska natural gas pipeline project.
Specifically, the bill provides the framework for Alaska to become an owner in the Alaska LNG project and move the project into the Pre-Front End Engineering and Design (Pre-FEED) stage.
“ I applaud the Senate for voting today to advance the Alaska LNG project and ensure Alaska’s gas is maximized for Alaskans’ benefit ,” Governor Sean Parnell said.
“ Our legislation paves the way for Alaskans to become owners in the project and ensures an open, public process going forward. I look forward to working with the House in the coming weeks to pass our legislation on Alaska’s terms and in Alaskans’ interests .”
