“this is a mechanism that is only exercisable at the state's option. In terms of Glenfarm's ability to seek recourse or any kind of compensation, we don't have that mechanism. We can't ask the state to exercise this option.”
That's something that AGDC proposed to us in our negotiations. It's something that AGDC, in their capacity as representatives of the state, pushed for and advocated for, and it's something that we, Glenfarm, saw as a fair protection to the state, and we agreed to have it implemented as part of our contract. Again, this is a mechanism that is only exercisable at the state's option. In terms of Glenfarm's ability to seek recourse or any kind of compensation, we don't have that mechanism. We can't ask the state to exercise this option.
The HB 381 conference committee failed Friday to adopt either the House or Senate version of the Alaska LNG tax bill, with each body's delegation voting against the other's version. Chair Calvin Schrage announced the committee will proceed under limited powers of free conference to write a compromise from scratch, with a follow-up meeting set for Saturday morning.

A confidential AGDC draft document describing a paid state clawback option over Glenfarne circulated publicly before Friday's conference committee hearing, prompting AGDC and Glenfarne officials to address what Kissinger called a stolen document on the record and raising questions about what legislators knew and when.
