1 Natural Gas Distribution System for the Unserved Portions of the FNSB A Community Plan Fairbanks City Council 6/10/13

2 IGU - Vision Deliver Low Cost Gas: A non-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) 2

12 FNG’s Comments on IGU Application 1. IGU does not have a natural gas supply contract 2. 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) 3. IGU’s residential gas demand is too high (IGU @ 245 mcf/year compared to FNG @ 125 mcf/year) 4. 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

13 IGU’s Comments on FNG Application 1. Thousands of residents in FNG’s existing service area have been waiting over a decade for gas service 2. FNG’s 3 Bcf/year gas sales to a North Pole industrial customer - no commitment provided for this gas demand or quantity 3. FNG investing a fraction of what is needed for LNG storage and distribution system expansion necessary to serve new area 4. 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 13
