RCA Denies Application Filed by FNG and Approves Application Filed by IANGU.
The Regulatory Commission of Alaska denied an application filed by Fairbanks
Natural Gas, LLC (FNG) in Docket U-13-083. The RCA approved an application filed by
Interior Alaska Natural Gas Utility (IANGU) in Docket U-13-103.
On April 5, 2013, FNG filed an application to amend its certificate of public
convenience and necessity to expand its service area. On April 22, 2013, IANGU filed
an application for a new certificate of public convenience and necessity to provide
natural gas distribution in the service area of Fairbanks North Star Borough vicinity.
Most of the area IANGU applied for overlaps the area FNG requested in its application
for service area expansion. Because the service area applied for is part of a larger
project, the commission found the public interest requires that it grant only one certificate
for the whole area. For the reasons explained in the order, the commission granted a new
certificate to IANGU for the entire service area applied for and denied the certificate
amendment requested by FNG.
Statements of Commissioners Paul F. Lisankie, Robert Pickett, and Norman
Rokeberg were issued with the order.
