ND gas pipeline incentive draws interest

By Doug Barrett Nov 17, 2021 | 9:22 AM

North Dakota’s Pipeline Authority director says there’s been a lot of interest from companies interested in building a natural gas pipeline from the Bakken to Central and Eastern North Dakota.

The Legislature – in special session – set aside $150 million in seed money for such a pipeline. $10 million of that is for a temporary connection between Grand Forks and the Viking Pipeline in Minnesota, to help provide gas to a proposed corn milling facility.

The proposed Fufeng Group project is expected to double the demand for natural gas in the city.

Pipeline Authority Director Justin Kringstad says there are some questions to be answered including the application process and timeline.

The state’s Industrial Commission meets Nov. 29th – and Kringstad says he hopes the Commission will be able to adopt guidelines for that pipeline money.

Funding comes from the federal American Recovery Plan Act, or ARPA.
