The Northern Journal's Nat Herz reports that renewable energy advocates say conservation, along with more power generated from solar and wind projects, could delay a shift to LNG by up to five years.
Alaska utilities that use natural gas from Cook Inlet to heat homes and generate electricity will, in the not-too-distant future, need to look elsewhere.
That’s as gas producer Hilcorp says it won’t have enough easily accessible gas to fulfill future contracts. Utilities are considering importing more expensive liquefied natural gas, which will cause price increases for consumers, for example, with electricity costing 10 to 15% more than it does now and gas to heat homes even higher.The Northern Journal’s Nat Herz reported this week that renewable energy advocates say conservation, along with more power generated from solar and wind projects, could delay a shift to LNG by up to five years. But Herz says those advocates are worried the utilities are not moving quickly enough in that direction.
