  2. IGU - Vision • Deliver Low Cost Gas: Anon-profit business delivering gas Borough-wide at $15/mmBTU, a cost competitive with wood to improve area-wide PM 2.5 air quality levels. • As Soon As Possible: Complete the gas distribution system within the next 5 to10 years • To As Many As Possible: Gas service to the high and medium density areas surrounding Fairbanks (to 12,000+ homes and businesses)

  11. FNG’s Comments on IGU Application • IGU does not have a natural gas supply contract • IGU’s financing based on 50 year loans at 1% interest is not possible (AIDEA requires 30 year loans at higher interest (3% tax-free to 4.5% taxable bonds) • IGU’s residential gas demand is too high (IGU @ 245 mcf/year compared to FNG @ 125 mcf/year) • lGU’s retail natural gas delivery price will be higher than FNG’s due to higher cost AIDEA financing and lower residential customer gas demand

  12. IGU’s Comments on FNG Application • Thousands of residents in FNG’s existing service area have been waiting over a decade for gas service • FNG’s 3 Bcf/year gas sales to a North Pole industrial customer -no commitment provided for this gas demand or quantity • FNG investing a fraction of what is needed for LNG storage and distribution system expansion necessary to serve new area • FNG is diverting financial resources needed to provide adequate service within its existing service area in an attempt to foreclose IGU from serving the surrounding FNSB community
