Bill Summary

Relative to conservation and natural gas infrastructure. Telecommunications, Utilities and Energy.

AI Summary

This bill amends Chapter 164 of the Massachusetts General Laws to require gas companies, before adding new natural gas capacity to their systems, to first recapture an equivalent volume of natural gas that has been lost from their systems by repairing identified gas leaks within the same municipality. If all identified leaks in a municipality have been repaired, the gas company must pursue alternative conservation measures within the municipality or repair identified gas leaks within the region. The bill also requires the Department of Public Utilities to promulgate regulations and oversee and monitor the company's repair efforts.
