Fairbanks Daily News-Miner - Gas line questions remain
Gov. Sean Parnell’s response to the questions asked by Rep. Jay Ramras doesn’t provide any detailed answers about the status of in-state gas projects. It’s basically a “Thanks for your letter, now please go away” approach.

Governor Parnell Visits - Wrangell Sentinel

Wrangell Sentinel - the oldest continuously published paper in Alaska.

Alaska Governor Sean Parnell was expected to briefly tour Wrangell this Wednesday during part of his visit to the Southeast. The governor had a scheduled meeting in Ketchikan and decided to make a brief stop in Wrangell as part of an unplanned visit, according to the governor’s office.


During his visit the governor was anticipated to meet with the borough assembly to discuss five of 42 projects selected as priorities by the assembly. Those projects included the completion of paving for both Cassiar and Weber streets, the continued expansion of Wrangell’s medical facilities, the Alaska/British Columbia intertie, and improvements for the Marine Service center.

Mayo Power project upgrade - transmission to link two Yukon Electric Transmission Systems

Why put this in AED?  The interconnection of Whitehorse to Dawson, Yukon means that roughly 250 plus miles separates an interconnection between Dawson and Delta Junction, Alaska.  On the southern end of Yukon's power grid, a link from Carcross Jct to Skagway's Goat Lake project is roughly 50 miles.  So, an interconnection of Southeast Alaska through Yukon to the Railbelt isn't that far fetched.   Nothing is understood to be planned by either Yukon Energy nor the Alaska Energy Authority, however an interconnection between the Alaska Railbelt and Southeast isn't insurmountable, nor farfetched either.
