Interior Gas Utility

The utility that feeds natural gas to 2,000 customers in the Interior has decided to change sellers in a move to stabilize the supply. At a meeting Tuesday afternoon, the board of the Interior Gas Utility voted to buy natural gas from Hilcorp North Slope, LLC and have it trucked down from the North Slope. It would be the first commercialization of North Slope gas.

As natural gas capacity improves in the Fairbanks/North Pole area, more residential customers can heat their homes with it. The Interior Gas Utility is having a series of town-hall meetings, starting tonight at the North Pole Library , to answer questions about how it could work.
