Beyond Gas-RI Response to PUC

Acadia Center and its partners in the Beyond Gas-RI advocacy coalition submitted comprehensive comments to the Rhode Island Public Utilities Commission outlining our recommendations for the state’s forthcoming Future of Gas investigation. The proceeding, expected to unfold over the remainder of 2022 and through 2023, will examine how the state’s overreliance on “fossil” gas must change for the state to meet the Act on Climate’s requirements of a 45 percent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2030, 80 percent reduction by 2040, and to net-zero by 2050.
