Juneau may look to Canadian natural gas to lower energy costs

Natural gas is being looked at as the solution to high energy costs in Southeast Alaska, but it is Canadian gas, not Alaska gas, that's likely to be shipped to Juneau and other Panhandle communities. Juneau's electric utility, Alaska Electric Light and Power, has provided the city with power since before it was the capital, but it was recently purchased by Spokane-based Avista Corp., which not only provides electricity to its hundreds of thousands of Pacific Northwest customers but natural gas as well.
