Bill Summary
Relative to prohibiting electric customer support for gas pipeline expansions. Telecommunications, Utilities and Energy.
AI Summary
This bill aims to prohibit electric utility customers from being forced to pay for the capital costs of natural gas pipeline expansions. Specifically, the bill amends section 94A of chapter 164 of the General Laws to clarify that no gas company may contract for electricity, and no electric company may contract for gas, under this section. The bill's intent is to ensure that consumers are not required to subsidize the expansion of natural gas infrastructure, which could lead to higher energy costs for households and businesses.
