Not Just A Pipe Dream: Non-Pipeline Alternative Framework, Analysis and Experiences

Public utility commissions and utilities are exploring the role of non-pipeline alternatives (NPA) – an investment or activity that defers, reduces, or avoids the need to construct or replace a pipeline – in gas distribution system planning. Berkeley Lab presented a webinar on December 4, 2023, to learn about themes in state NPA guidance and the new framework to evaluate NPAs. Two reports discussing these themes can be downloaded here.
