Fossil gas keeps getting more expensive, forcing families and businesses to pay more. And state regulators are facing a looming problem– gas utilities could spend up to $1.4 trillion by 2050 and utility customers will be left picking up the tab. Regulators need new tools and approaches to evaluate these proposals, while also directing utilities to pursue solutions that reduce costs and risks to energy consumers. A new Energy Innovation resource outlines a framework called a Gas System Analysis (GSA) that can help them more effectively evaluate investments, keeping costs in check and better aligning with policy goals.
