In keeping with Mayor Micciche’s commitment to create and encourage a citizen-run Kenai Peninsula Borough (KPB) government, the Mayor’s Working Group was formed. Over a hundred citizens applied from throughout the KPB to serve on the 25-person board and selections were made by the mayor and his team based on subject matter interests, expertise, background, and geography. Today, this diverse group meets quarterly as well as holds regular sub-committee meetings taking on some of the biggest challenges faced by the borough and its residents. All of the meetings are open to the public and we encourage you to participate in the process. Please join us!

The Alaska Gasline Development Corp.'s LNG project application and accompanying resource reports are available online at the Kenai Peninsula Borough website. The state corporation filed its application with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission on April 17, 2017. The more than 140 files include the latest project overview, proposed construction and operational plans, environmental reports and maps for the North Slope gas treatment plant, 807-mile pipeline through the center of the state and the natural gas liquefaction plant and LNG export terminal proposed in Nikiski.

 

Some of the files are large and download time will vary with your Internet connection speed.

 

The state of Alaska has taken over management of the project from North Slope oil and gas producers ExxonMobil, BP and ConocoPhillips, with the intent of proceeding to a construction decision by 2019 and first LNG exports in 2024. In addition to FERC’s preparation of an environmental impact statement and regulatory decision, that schedule is dependent on the state corporation’s success in signing up investors and customers, securing financing for the multibillion-dollar project, and favorable global LNG market conditions.

 

A few of the appendices to the reports (mostly data sheets) are too large to easily accommodate on the Kenai Borough server. All of the reports also are available from the FERC website at http://elibrary.ferc.gov/idmws/search/fercgensearch.asp. Enter CP17-178 for the docket number.
