This tension complicates efforts to achieve a political equilibrium (i.e., a consensus) and retain the traditional objective of utility regulation to assure “just and reasonable” prices and reliable service for households, businesses, and other users of utility services.

A key strategy emerging in several states is the mandatory consideration of non-pipe alternatives (NPAs); solutions that avoid the need for new natural gas hook-ups. California, Massachusetts, New York, and Colorado are leading the effort, and other states like Maryland, Hawaii, Oregon, Minnesota, and New Jersey are not far behind. Before gaining approval for traditional new pipeline investments as opposed to pipeline replacement, regulators are requiring utilities to thoroughly analyze the costs and benefits of NPAs. This is compelling natural gas utilities to rethink their business models and find the most effective ways to present NPAs to regulators and customers. With this enhanced scrutiny and regulatory mandates that are increasingly focusing on sustainability, natural gas distribution utilities are at a crossroads. The challenge lies in adapting to these expectations and innovating scalable investments that will meet regulatory demands while driving the transition to a cleaner energy future.</p>","PeriodicalId":100259,"journal":{"name":"Climate and Energy","volume":"41 5","pages":"15-21"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142596251","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, these states are acknowledging that solar and offshore wind will need to be backed up by a significant increase in natural gas-fired generation to join energy storage in providing load-following dispatchable power, to compensate for the variability of wind and solar generation. There is also a recognition that load is growing too fast to rely solely on new wind and solar for baseload generation. Further, a significant amount of remaining coal-fired generation is expected to phase out in the three states, creating the need for more generation unrelated to load growth.</p>","PeriodicalId":100259,"journal":{"name":"Climate and Energy","volume":"41 4","pages":"27-32"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-10-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142429315","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
