ACTION NARRATIVE
11:11:23 AM
CHAIR LESIL MCGUIRE called the Senate Special Committee on
Energy meeting to order at 11:11 a.m. Senators Stedman,
Wielechowski, and McGuire were present at the call to order.
SB 31-GEOTHERMAL ELEC. PROD. TAX CREDIT
CHAIR MCGUIRE announced the consideration of SB 31.
SENATOR WIELECHOWSKI moved to adopt the proposed committee
substitute (CS) to SB 31, labeled 26-LS0217\W, as a working
document.
SENATOR STEDMAN objected for the purpose of discussion.
TREVOR FULTON, Staff to Senator McGuire, said the CS to SB 31
changes the amount of the tax credit from 0.35 cents per
kilowatt hour to 2.1 cents. The bill is based on Utah's tax
credit, and he spoke with someone from there who told him that
0.35 cents was insignificant. The industry told him the same
thing. The credit now matches the federal credit. The CS limits
eligibility only to projects placed into service after January
1, 2010. Steve Haagenson of AEA (Alaska Energy Authority) noted
that if the credit were applied to current hydro projects,
Bradley Lake alone would cost the state $133 million. The third
change was to cap the amount of the tax credit to 20 percent of
capital investment on a given project. This was in response to a
concern by the tax division. The language is borrowed from
existing oil and gas tax credits. In order to get the bill to
function as envisioned, there needs to be a certificate issued
by the department to an eligible party that could be sold or
transferred in the open market.
11:15:18 AM
MR. FULTON said the fifth change was in response to another tax
division concern. There was a situation where a power producer
could double dip with the federal tax credit "that the state co-
ops, to the tune of 18 percent of that production tax credit. So
if we had our tax credit created by SB 31 in statute, and the
existing federal 18 percent of the federal tax credit in
statute, then there's the possibility for an entity to double
dip on that. We made changes to the bill and to existing statute
that addresses that federal PTC." The CS has a sunset clause of
January 1, 2025, which coincides with the governor's goal of
using 50 percent renewable energy.
11:16:29 AM
SENATOR STEDMAN asked for clarification on the Dorothy Lake
issue. He asked the status of the hydro energy sources.
CHAIR MCGUIRE said the tax division was concerned about the lost
revenue to the state. Hydro is included in the bill because it
is the main source of alternative energy in Southeast, but any
project in operation prior to 2010 will not be included.
SENATOR STEDMAN suggested clearing up expansions to these
projects. Dorothy Lake may have a second phase to increase its
production capabilities. There are other existing hydro sites
that may want to add additional turbines, raise dam levels, or
make other enhancements. It appears that this would exclude all
hydro projects in service, which would exclude expansions.
11:18:46 AM
CHAIR MCGUIRE said she shares those concerns. There are issues
of fairness. "Why should we be more favorable to individuals who
put in to place alternative energy today and seemingly punitive
to those who had the foresight to put them in years ago?" The
tax division was concerned about Bradley lake.
SENATOR WIELECHOWSKI asked about a fiscal note.
MR. FULTON said the fiscal note is indeterminate.
SENATOR WIELECHOWSKI said this issue can be worked on in the
Senate Resources Committee.
11:20:08 AM
CHAIR MCGUIRE said the effects of the incentive won't be known.
She hopes that the tax credit incentivizes many projects. It
will reduce the state share, but it is difficult to put a dollar
amount on it. Starting the credit in 2010 minimizes the loss of
state revenues for projects that were easy to quantify. It does
create an unlevel playing field. The division can give more
testimony in the Senate Resources committee, but the fiscal note
will likely remain indeterminate.
SENATOR STEDMAN removed his objection to adopting the CS.
Therefore, Version W was before the committee.
11:21:34 AM
SENATOR STEDMAN moved Amendment 1 to strike the language on page
1, line 14, and on page 2, line 1, "to be further worked on in
the next committee of referral."
SENATOR WIELECHOWSKI said this can be discussed in the next
committee, but he is concerned that by taking that language out,
"then we're talking probably hundreds of millions of dollars in
tax credits." He said he won't object because the bill is
referred to other committees. Senator Stedman raises valid
concerns about expansions. Expansions should be encouraged, but
it will cost the state hundreds of millions of dollars for
things that were done 20 or 30 years ago.
SENATOR STEDMAN said he agrees about not looking back in time,
but it will give the legislature the ability to target future
expansions and upgrades of existing systems.
11:22:52 AM
CHAIR MCGUIRE heard no objection, so Amendment 1 was adopted.
CLAY KOPLIN, Cordova, said the new credit amount is much more
aligned with industry standards and offers a real incentive.
There are several renewable energy projects in the pipeline for
2009, so he suggested that January 2010 should be the first
eligible tax credit date. That would benefit some of the
projects that are constructed before the end of the year.
CHAIR MCGUIRE asked what projects are in the works.
11:24:52 AM
MR. KOPLIN said he will put a list together.
CHAIR MCGUIRE said she hopes this bill will truly incentivize
alternative energy in Alaska.
SENATOR WIELECHOWSKI moved to report the CS to SB 31 as amended
from committee with individual recommendations and attached
fiscal note(s). There being no objection, CSSB 31(ENE) passed
out of committee.
11:26:03 AM
HCR 2-IN-STATE GAS PIPELINE
HCR 3-IN-STATE GAS PIPELINE
HCR 4-IN-STATE GAS PIPELINE
HCR 5-IN-STATE GAS PIPELINE
CHAIR MCGUIRE announced the consideration of four House
Concurrent Resolutions: HCR 2(RES) am, HCR 3 am, HCR 4 am, and
HCR 5 am.
MARGARET DOWLING, Staff to Representative Jay Ramras, Alaska
State Legislature, said the resolutions remind Representative
Ramras of how one eats an elephant: one bite at a time. Each
resolution attempts to help get a bullet line with affordable
natural gas to hungry Alaskan markets one bite at a time. HCR 2
encourages the administration to promote a bullet line; to
identify entities in Gubik or elsewhere on the North Slope that
may have sufficient quantities of natural gas to support the
line; and to negotiate a commitment with that entity for natural
gas production on commercially reasonable terms that would
support the economic viability of a gasline. HCR 3 addresses the
demand end of the gasline equation by encouraging the
administration to expedite the reopening of the Agrium plant in
Kenai. The plant closed in 2007 because it lacked an adequate
supply of gas. It employed up to 250 people and manufactured
fertilizer and ammonia for local use and for export. So HCR 3
also supports the farms of Alaska, which cover over 25,000 acres
in five boroughs. There are more than 300 farmers in the Mat-Su
borough and 130 in Fairbanks. Since the Agrium plant closed,
farmers have experienced a 400 percent increase in the cost of
fertilizer, and farming jobs may decline by 150 positions.
11:29:08 AM
MS. DOWLING said HCR 4 asks the governor to advocate for an
increase in the amount of gas that may be exported under U.S.
Department of Energy licenses to 60 bcf per year. Current
licenses are set to expire in 2011, and the Kenai LNG export
facility could be forced to close unless additional supplies of
gas are found in the Cook Inlet. HCR 5 gives the administration
a timeline for these projects. It basically tells it to lend a
hand, use the resources it has, and then get out of the way. It
requests that the governor facilitate the process for a private
entity to make a final commitment before November 1, 2010. In
summary, these resolutions urge the administration to take the
lead for instate gas. Alaskans need a cheap, clean, and reliable
source of fuel, and a bullet line will do that. The governor has
the resources to make that happen, and these resolutions will
just encourage her to do so.
11:31:02 AM
SENATOR WIELECHOWSKI said HCR 2 talks about 180 billion cubic
feet per year, and he asked what that is per day. There is a
provision in AGIA that "we" can't go over 500 mcf per day.
MS. DOWLING said nothing in these resolutions will conflict with
AGIA. The intent is that any pipeline would fit within the
limitations of AGIA.
11:31:50 AM
SENATOR WIELECHOWSKI said page 2, lines 13-18, of HCR 2 talks
about exporting natural gas overseas. If there are 60 bcf for
the Railbelt and 60 bcf for industrial use, will it be
sufficient to supply gas for Alaskans? He doesn't want to
support shipping gas overseas if Alaskans aren't taken care of.
MS. DOWLING said Representative Ramras knows about that concern.
These resolutions don't have the force of law. It is a way to
encourage consistent demand so the pipeline can be viable. There
will be many opportunities to weigh in on these licenses. An
amendment to HCR 2 puts Alaskans first.
11:33:07 AM
SENATOR WIELECHOWSKI said the issue of the time availability for
Gubik gas came up in a Senate Resources hearing several weeks
ago. Enstar said it needs gas by 2015, and Gubik won't be on
line until 2016, at the earliest. The big gasline will be
available in 2018. Everyone wants to get gas as quickly as
possible to Alaska consumers, but what about this disconnect?
MS. DOWLING said there is an expectation of other sources of
natural gas, and all should be explored. The resolution mentions
Gubik and the North Slope, but it isn't meant to be exclusive.
CHAIR MCGUIRE said page 2 of HCR 2 refers to promoting the
development of the Gubik area and other North Slope areas.
MS. DOWLING said it is not exclusive to any one producer or
entity. It is to be as broad as possible in finding gas.
11:34:56 AM
CHAIR MCGUIRE said Senator Wielechowski has a good point. It was
disappointing to hear of those dates in a prior committee.
Natural resource exploration timeframes can move, but it may
happen sooner. These are good resolutions.
SENATOR STEDMAN said HCR 2 is "the 500 a day." "Close enough."
CHAIR MCGUIRE said she has to be mindful of that 500 million mcf
limit in AGIA, but a lot of things can happen. We don't know
that a pipeline will come to fruition under AGIA. "I would hope
that we continue to be innovative in getting natural gas to
Alaskans, and it may well be that we find a project that is
larger than that for the pure economics of it."
11:36:43 AM
SENATOR WIELECHOWSKI noted that HCR 5 talks about government
getting out of the way. That may be the best course of action,
but what role will ANGDA have as a governmental organization
that is working on the exact same thing?
MS. DOWLING said she will ask Representative Ramras.
11:37:42 AM
LISA PARKER, Manager, Government Relations, Agrium, Kenai, said
the resolutions are important for providing economic stability
to Alaska and to get gas to consumers -- residential and
industrial. After 40 years of operation, Agrium shut down its
facility in 2007 due to a lack of natural gas supply in Cook
Inlet. Agrium put over $350 million per year into the Alaska
economy at its peak. Agrium supports a bullet line and has had
discussions with state agencies about it. If the line is
constructed in the next 5 to 7 years, Agrium could put a $1
billion industrial facility back into operation on the Kenai
Peninsula. It would provide a stable tax base and jobs. It would
help the agricultural industry and the Department of
Transportation and Public Facilities for airports that use urea.
11:39:52 AM
SENATOR WIELECHOWSKI thanked her for her advocacy. Everyone
wants to get Agrium back. What price per mcf makes it feasible
for Agrium to reopen?
MS. PARKER said she will provide that.
SENATOR WIELECHOWSKI said in the past Agrium was paying $3 per
mcf and that was stretching Agrium's finances. The costs that he
has heard are Henry hub, which can fluctuate from $4 to $12 per
mcf. Is the bullet line the best way to get the cheapest gas for
Southcentral and at a price that Agrium can do business?
MS. PARKER said Agrium was paying "Henry hub plus" in the latter
years of operation. The devil will be in the details of the
bullet line and what the price will be.
11:41:46 AM
CHAIR MCGUIRE said it was hard for the lawmakers who really
tried to keep Agrium open. Her heart goes out to the 250
employees. It is a loss.
CURTIS THAYER, Director, Government Relations and Public
Affairs, Enstar, said he supports all four resolutions. They
provide a foundation for the project to move forward. The
industrial anchor in HCR 3 or the LNG plant in HCR 4 cannot be
overemphasized for providing a reasonable tariff for the
consumers along the Railbelt. Enstar thanks Representative
Ramras and other. About 18 months ago ACES set a tax rate that
helped spur development in Gubik, the Nenana Basin, and the
Yukon Flats. This will be a long process but he hopes to be
successful in the next five to seven years.
11:43:38 AM
TOM LAKOSH, Anchorage, asked the committee to recall SB 31
because his testimony was blocked by the moderator. He was
denied his constitutional right to petition his government. He
would also like to voice concerns about the bullet line as a $4
billion boondoggle for the following reasons. Gas producers will
not commit to long-term gas for the bullet line because the
tariffs will be too high. They will be able to make more money
on the main gasline that will follow in a year or two. More than
half of the gasline will become obsolete a year or two after
construction because the mainline will deliver it more cheaply.
The overly optimistic projections of the bullet line tariffs
depend on an explosion of use in Southcentral. The proposed
carbon tax, energy conservation measures, and renewable power
projects will greatly reduce gas use. The cost per unit of gas
will triple. The increased costs will cause lower gas use,
further increasing the per unit cost. He made the same argument
to the Bonneville Power Administration when it was building the
whoops power plants [Washington Public Power Supply System] that
were shut down because the cost of electricity became too
expensive and the plants were no longer needed.
MR. LAKOSH said any near-term shortage of gas in Southcentral
can be quickly remedied by the cancelation of the export license
for Cook Inlet gas that will lower gas rates, and if we still
need additional gas in the long-term, we could then build a
shorter spur off of the main line in Fairbanks for less than $2
billion. The excuse that production must be maintained to
prevent degradation of the production is a flimsy excuse for
maintaining export where the Agrium plant can provide for
interruptible consumption of gas to maintain production rates.
The specific production needs of each field would be required to
definitively ascertain if degradation would occur from slower
gas production rates. In those fields where degradation would
not occur from slower production, gas can be stored for
exceptional winter needs. Some exhausted gas fields on the Kenai
are being proposed for this very purpose. On-land storage in
tanks in compressed or liquid form is also being proposed to
serve high-use periods, and production can be maintained from
degrading gas fields by supplying those storage facilities. If
it is determined that continuous production from gas fields must
be maintained for gas conservation, the production of fertilizer
and employment at the Agrium plant is of substantially greater
value to Alaskans and should be deemed a more beneficial use of
Alaska natural gas. It is a clear constitutional justification
for cancelation of the export license.
11:47:25 AM
CHAIR MCGUIRE asked for his testimony in writing. She said he
can testify on SB 31 in the Senate Resources Committee.
MR. LAKOSH said cancellation of the export license for the LNG
plant in Nikiski will force the oil companies to look for more
gas in Cook Inlet and the spur line won't be needed at all when
new gas fields are developed. For the price of the pipeline, one
gigawatt of renewable energy could be built at $3,000 per
kilowatt and still have $1 billion left over for transmission of
those alternative energy sources. He urged the committee not to
spur the state to spend a thin dime on this boondoggle.
11:49:13 AM
CHAIR MCGUIRE said when she was in the resources committee a few
years ago, she offered an instate tax credit for the Nenana
Basin, and there was discussion on whether it would incentivize
natural gas exploration. It is good to hear Enstar personnel
talk about it. She hopes to see more development. She hopes SB
31 will offer such benefits. Tax incentives really do help.
