Policymakers, regulators and utilities are increasingly prioritizing energy decarbonization in addition to reliability and affordability, and several states—including Colorado, Massachusetts, Minnesota and Vermont—have adopted clean heat standards or frameworks designed to encourage gas and dual-fuel utilities to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. In order to achieve those reductions while simultaneously maximizing affordability, reliability and equity, gas and dual-fuel utilities need better, more granular and more cost-effective sources of gas consumption data that can improve decarbonization planning and implementation while unlocking new non-pipes alternatives (NPAs).
