States are increasingly interested in gas distribution system planning and the role that demand- side resources can play in maintaining an affordable, reliable, equitable, and low-carbon energy system. In particular, public utility commissions and utilities are exploring the role of non-pipeline alternatives (NPA) – an investment or activity that defers, reduces, or avoids the need to construct or replace a pipeline – in gas distribution system planning. Berkeley Lab presents a free webinar on December 4, 2023, at 11:30 a.m. PT/ 2:30 p.m. ET to learn about themes in state NPA guidance and the new framework to evaluate NPAs.
