Rhode Island House Resolution requests the Public Utilities Commission to end gas line extension allowances.

The Rhode Island House of Representatives formally requests the Rhode Island Public Utilities Commission to terminate gas line extension allowances as part of Docket 25-45-GE. This resolution aims to align with the state's climate action strategy, which seeks to reduce gas use for home heating to meet emissions targets by 2030, 2040, and 2050. The resolution argues that continuing to allow gas line extension allowances locks in customer subsidization of new infrastructure, which conflicts with the state's net zero emissions goals by 2050.
