Developers of a major liquefied natural gas project in Alaska are aiming to begin initial pipeline-related work as soon as mid-April, according to a new filing with federal regulators.

Early activity on the Alaska LNG project would include building 20 construction camps, 46 sites to store pipes and around 100 construction bridge crossings, the implementation plan showed.

Glenfarne Group is the lead developer of the Alaska LNG project, with the Alaska Gasline Development Corp. involved as a minority owner. The 119-page filing last week with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission offers new insight into the pipeline’s construction timeline, which Glenfarne hopes to have mechanically completed in 2028, with first in-state gas delivery in 2029.

“Glenfarne is rapidly advancing Alaska LNG to deliver reliable, affordable energy for Alaskans, backed by some of the biggest names in energy and construction,” said Tim Fitzpatrick, a Glenfarne spokesperson, in a statement Monday. “This implementation plan describes the next steps for early works activities to achieve that objective.”
