Paul Bunyan Natural Gas had its official Groundbreaking ceremony in Walker on Wednesday, May 27th. Those present were Walker’s Mayor Jed Shaw, Mike Gorham, Brad Box, and Pat Bleth who are Paul Bunyan Natural Gas Representatives.
Paul Bunyan Natural Gas, LLC was formed in 2020 by two energy companies, Northwest Gas and Northern Star Cooperative Services. We are excited to announce the project has officially begun and is underway to bring natural gas service to the Walker area. PBNG will take receipt of natural gas from Greater Minnesota Gas, Inc. who will own and operated the line being constructed from Cass Lake to the north edge of Walker. Once in PBNG’s lines it will service the City of Walker and extent to Northern Lights Casino in its first phase scheduled for this summer. The line is being constructed to expand natural gas service to other areas around Walker in coming years.
Paul Bunyan Natural Gas is grateful for the support of the City of Walker especially Mayor Shaw and City Administrator Terri Bjorklund. “This project would not have been possible if it weren’t for the commitment and hard work of local area officials,” said Mike Gorham, of Northwest Gas who spearheaded this project along with Rachel Sorrentino for Paul Bunyan Natural Gas. “Jed and Terri worked diligently with area legislators and Jed even testified in St. Paul to get the necessary legislation passed last year to make this project viable.” Gorham went on to mention others who were instrumental and involved in helping with “seeing a concept become a plan and now, that plan a reality.” Those people mentioned included: Amy Burnette (Leech Lake Band of Ojibwe), Josh Stevenson and Tim Richardson (Cass County), Pam Arndt and Angela Yuska (Minnesota Department of Natural Resources), Ann Long Voelkner (Chippewa National Forest) and Terry Condon and Tom Johnson (MNDOT).
Paul Bunyan Natural Gas’s Brad Box who is also the CEO of Northern Star Cooperative Services said, “Northern Star Cooperative Services and Northwest Gas first talked about partnering in this project several years ago. Fortunately, with the favorable legislation passed, we were finally able to make it happen. We are excited about the formation of this new company, but even more excited to provide this long-needed service to the Walker area.”
We will be updating our website as well as our social media sites on the progress of the project in order to keep the people of Walker informed. Again, Paul Bunyan Natural Gas is enthusiastic and thrilled to be a part of this project for the City of Walker.

With the mailings sent out to Walker residents last week, there was a piece of information that was mistakenly added to the natural gas application.
Please disregard the portion of the application that states, "Measurement facilities and up to 150 feet of service line will be installed at company expense. Service line extensions beyond 150 feet from the property line or right-of-way will be charged at $4.00 per foot, payable prior to meter installation."

You will not be charged this fee. Please see the updated application on our website at https://www.pbnaturalgas.com/sign-up
