California Order Eliminating Subsidies for Electric Extensions to Mixed-Fuel Construction

In December 2023, the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) followed up on a previous ruling eliminating subsidies for natural gas line extensions for all newly constructed mixed-fuel buildings by further eliminating subsidies for electric line extension to building projects that use natural gas and/or propane.

With the elimination of electric line extension subsidies for mixed-fuel new construction, the state is further disincentivizing the use of natural gas in new construction by removing all subsidies associated with the extension of new gas infrastructure.
