For over 40 years, Alaskans have anxiously awaited for an in-state pipeline to supply local and international LNG. The pipeline will use proven technologies to ensure safe operations and reduce the potential for impact on the environment.
The 806-mile pipeline is designed to have gas offtake points along the route to make gas available to Alaska communities. It is anticipated that along the route, there will be at least five offtake points to help facilitate in-state gas delivery to Alaskans. AGDC in consultation with the State, local communities, and the public, will be working to identify the most appropriate locations for these offtake points.
Moving natural gas from the mainline to in-state customers downstream will require a combination of additional infrastructure to include off-take facilities, spur lines, and local distribution systems. The cost of this infrastructure will be paid by third parties; if not the state, then local governments, public utilities, end users or a combination of these groups. AGDC is working collaboratively with the state, to develop a framework for evaluating off-take infrastructure investments and to assist policy makers, Alaskan communities, utilities and the public in identifying the most appropriate location for in-state access points.
The Alaska Gasline Development Corporation is committed to delivering in-state natural gas by 2023-2025.
