Glenfarne announces over $115 billion strategic partner interest for Alaska LNG project
June 3 (Reuters) - Glenfarne said on Tuesday that its unit, Glenfarne Alaska LNG, has completed the first round of its strategic partner selection process with over 50 companies who have formally expressed interest for over $115 billion of contract value for the Alaska LNG project. The 807-mile 42-inch pipeline project is capable of transporting natural gas to meet both Alaska's domestic needs and supply the full 20 million tonnes per annum (mtpa) Alaska LNG export facility, the company said. Phase One is expected to deliver natural gas about 765 miles from the North Slope to the Anchorage region. Additionally, the Phase Two will add nearly 42 miles of pipeline under the Cook Inlet to the Alaska LNG export facility in Nikiski, which will be constructed simultaneously with the LNG export facility. Glenfarne expects a final investment decision on the domestic portion of the Alaska LNG pipeline by the end of the fourth quarter this year.

9 Best Airbnbs in Anchorage, Alaska—From Cozy Cabins to Modern Lofts
Anchorage is one of those rare cities where wild and urban live side by side. One minute, you're passing a moose on a bike path, the next, you're ordering a smoked salmon bagel and pour-over coffee downtown. And though Alaska's largest city is shaped by its scale—vast landscapes, dramatic seasons—what surprises most visitors is how livable it feels. And that's reflected in Anchorage's best Airbnbs. Whether you want to be downtown near the galleries, bakeries, and reindeer hot dog stands, or tucked into the mountains with views of the Cook Inlet on clear days, there's a vacation rental in Anchorage for every type of traveler. Though I now split my time between Alaska and Colorado, I spent eight years living in Anchorage full-time—long enough to know which neighborhoods catch the best sunset light and where the trails start just beyond the backyard fence. No matter the season, these are the Anchorage Airbnbs that make you feel like a local, even if it's just for the weekend. While we have not stayed in every Airbnb featured, unless otherwise stated, these listings are vetted based on Superhost status, amenities, location, previous guest reviews, and decor.

Alaska is upholding our end. Congress must protect federal energy commitments.

(Photo by Yereth Rosen/alaska Beacon) Alaska has a long history of leadership in renewable energy. The state's Renewable Energy Fund, for example, has helped build more than 100 operating projects across Alaska — enabling rural communities to reduce their reliance on costly diesel, and slowing the Railbelt's consumption of Cook Inlet's dwindling natural gas supplies. Renewable energy investments build real projects in Alaska, generating savings for ratepayers and building our energy security. That's why, as former Republican and Democratic Alaska legislators, we went to bat for policies and investments that helped develop our state's vast renewable resources. State investment in renewable energy is now bringing in major federal dollars thanks to legislation approved by Congress in 2021 and 2022. The current version of the state budget for the coming year includes close to $100 million in funding for renewables — primarily from federal sources. Federal investments will support a range of energy projects across the state. There are funds to help electrify port infrastructure in Seward, upgrade rural power systems, weatherize homes to reduce Alaskans' home heating bills, and begin long-needed transmission improvements. These and more projects are described in a recent report, Securing Our Energy Future: Perspectives from Alaskans on the Importance of Federal Clean Energy Incentives. U.S. Senators Dan Sullivan and Lisa Murkowski have been working to ensure previously awarded energy funds are delivered as promised. But there is a fight ahead. The future of federal clean energy incentives is at risk in the coming federal budget process. Our congressional delegation understands the benefits of these federal clean energy incentives for Alaska — and they need to know Alaskans are behind them. Please join us in urging our delegation — Sen. Sullivan, Sen. Murkowski, and Rep. Begich — to safeguard these powerful tools so Alaska's commitment to renewable energy gets the federal partnership we deserve.
