Rhode Island’s Gas Transition Docket

The Rhode Island PUC has opened a docket to investigate the future of the gas distribution business, a response to the passage last year of the Act on Climate. The purpose of the docket is to examine the extent to which the requirements of the Act impact the conduct, regulation, ratemaking, and the future of gas supply and gas distribution within Rhode Island. The investigation will include a stakeholder process that identifies goals for the future of the gas system in light of the Act, identifies or updates principles for ratemaking and regulation, and develops the scope for a report on the future of gas distribution business operations and investments in the state.
