STAK Energy says it has signed a 15-year gas sale agreement with ExxonMobil Alaska Production for its proposed Project Aaka power campus on Alaska’s North Slope. The 5 November announcement follows a preliminary agreement reached in January.
According to STAK, the contracted gas could support nearly 3 GW of generation. The company plans an off-grid campus using gas turbines in an existing industrial corridor with road and airport access, primarily to serve advanced computing.
STAK targets first power in 2030 and phased expansion through 2032. Those dates and the capacity estimate are company forecasts. The gas contract advances the commercial basis for the development; it does not mean the power station is operating.
The release does not disclose a gas price, construction budget or quantified recruitment programme. Its claim that the campus would avoid impacts on the public electricity grid depends on the proposed self-supplied operating model.
