Gov. Dunleavy examining energy bills passed by Alaska Legislature

Gov. Mike Dunleavy speaks about his vision for Alaska’s energy future at the Connecting the Arctic conference held in Anchorage on Monday. Next to him is Alberta Premier Danielle Smith, invited to Anchorage to speak at this week’s Alaska Sustainable Energy Conference.

“Obviously, we wanted all of our bills to move and pass because we saw specific problems that we’re trying to solve,” he said. Examining the approved legislation will take a bit of time because several bills wound up being combined, he said. “And so, probably within the next week or so, it makes sense . . .to see what we’ll do with Cook Inlet in terms of incentivizing more gas production.”

One important provision that did pass, he said, concerned regulating Cook Inlet natural gas storage. That will increase storage capacity in the region, he said.The carbon-storage provisions were originally proposed in a standalone bill the governor introduced last year. If signed by Dunleavy, the bill passed by the Legislature will enable the state to set up a regulatory framework for leasing what is known as “pore space” underground where carbon gases may be stored.

“We’re transitioning away from emissions. We’re not transitioning away from production,” Smith told the meeting audience.
