The gas utility industry faces growing risks as electric appliances outpace traditional furnaces & water heaters. On our blog, we discuss a new set of metrics that can inform the next era of gas & electric heating regulation to lower bills & increase electric grid efficiency. ⤵️

Love this from @ssteinberg310 on #ElectrifyThis: "Here’s my note of optimism: building electrification and transportation electrification offer *so* much potential. These are new tools in the Swiss army knife that we are pushing electric utilities to build to manage the grid."

[🇺🇸⚡️Harry @USEnergyHarry]

Thx to @Sara_Baldwin2 for letting me & my colleague @ssteinberg310 join her on #ElectrifyThis to talk a/b the impacts of HR 1 on U.S. families & businesses. It's not good, but #AdvancedEnergy will endure w/ smart state action leading the way! Listen below https://t.co/CiQUTpZmlQ

[Travis Kavulla @TKavulla]

While electric "demand flexibility" gets a lot of attention, the gas sector gets a lot less attention in that regard. In our first policy commentary of the new year, @nrgenergy advised @FERC and State Commissions @NARUC how that might be improved upon:

“Supporting families to upgrade our homes with cleaner, high efficiency electric appliances such as induction cooktops is not just important for the climate, it’s a public health necessity.” - Barbara Briggs, @BeyondGasDC

[Nate Kinsey ⚡🇺🇲 @Negawatt_Nate]

Friendly reminder that natural gas explodes and natural gas combustion appliance contributes to indoor and outdoor air pollution

Electricity isn't perfect but doesn't explode houses and heat pumps don't contribute to local pollution

"Residential customers who use gas to heat their homes would see bills rise by 43 percent."

Buckle up, Connecticut. This is just the beginning of heating bill increases, unless the state can get out ahead of the many major headwinds facing the gas system

[Advanced Energy United @AdvEnergyUnited]

Today, the @MichiganPSC ordered DTE to consider how the energy transition will change demand for gas. This puts money back into Michiganders’ pockets & protects them from paying for infrastructure they won’t use for decades to come.

[CUB Illinois @cubillinois]

New report from @cubillinois found that if Peoples Gas continues its methane gas-pipe spending plan, it would need a series of rate hikes averaging nearly 7%/yr through 2040. (In effect, that would be 15 straight years of record rate hikes!) Read more at https://t.co/lM3UfMrxlf.

"...we weight risks to current customers more heavily than we do providing an advantage to new customers who are arriving to the gas system at a time of significant future policy, market, and cost uncertainty,”

[Mike Bloomberg @BloombergME]

What does the future hold for gas utilities? See our new deep dive into Peoples Gas of Chicago.

TL;DR Prices are going up, irrespective of climate policies, driven by reckless CapEx and increased competition. Not good for customers or investors.

Cold-climate heat pumps are coming.

8 manufacturers that took part in DOE @ENERGY Residential Cold Climate Heat Pump Challenge now take new products to market.

These heat pumps reliably delivered heat even during coldest winter months, with some units operating down to -26C still meeting energy efficiency requirements.
