Alaska Faces Winter Gas Crisis | Anchorage News

Published 3 weeks ago
Description

Alaska’s main natural gas provider, Enstar, warns of potential winter shortages as it scrambles to secure more supply, after regulators denied its $240 million plan to expand storage at the Kenai Loop Pool — a move that could’ve kept prices stable and avoided rate hikes. With a competing bid from Hilcorp and no backup storage options in sight, Enstar is now pushing for reconsideration and exploring pricier alternatives, while urging customers to conserve energy. Meanwhile, the future of Alaska’s energy could hinge on a controversial LNG project — still years away — that might bring relief — or higher bills.
