Rhode Island Senate Resolution requests the Public Utilities Commission to end gas line extension allowances to reduce gas use for home heating.

The Rhode Island Senate Resolution requests the Rhode Island Public Utilities Commission to terminate gas line extension allowances, which spread the cost of connecting new customers to the gas distribution system among all gas customers. The resolution cites the need to reduce gas use for home heating to meet the state's emissions reduction targets by 2030, 2040, and 2050. It argues that continuing to connect new customers to the gas system locks in customer subsidization of new infrastructure, which extends beyond the 2050 net zero emissions requirements.
