Alaska to Issue RFP for North Slope Pipeline
Governor Sarah Palin (R-Alaska) signed the Alaska Gasline Inducement Act into law this week. The state expects to issue a request for proposals in July for a $30 billion pipeline that may transport gas from the North Slope to a proposed liquefaction facility in Valdez. The Act is available via the Alaska State Legislature website under HB 177. Platts LNG Daily [subscription required] and the governor’s website provide further coverage.
