All things building & gas energy transition with Advanced Energy United. Opinions are mine.
Finally, we can’t think about electric bills in isolation. Using today's gas delivery system costs: If just 10% of gas customers exit the gas system, remaining customer gas bills increase by $137 - up to $1,233 at 50% full electrification.

3) Annual energy costs only increase for those using a minimum-efficiency heat pump. The use of high efficiency HPs should hold customer energy bills about constant. When adding additional building shell improvements + TOU rates to that high-efficiency HP, a customer can save over $1,000 a year

Today's gas utility regulatory reform highlight: Xcel Colorado has committed to building "bottom-up" forecasts based on technology adoption & appliance saturation (rather than blunt customer counts/assumptions about peak day use) to feed into its future gas infrastructure plans.

Hey #EnergySky! In case you missed it, the Michigan PSC just sent DTE Gas back to the drawing boards for its Natural Gas Delivery Plans, asking them to consider how declining demand impacts their infrastructure plans re: customer costs and risks, non-pipeline alternatives, emissions goals & more.
