An Act to put a moratorium on new gas system expansion

HD 122 imposes a moratorium on new natural gas and related infrastructure projects until at least 2026. It prohibits the approval of new combustible fuel facilities (including natural gas, renewable natural gas, and hydrogen systems) or expansions of existing ones, except for safety-related projects. The bill also bans gas companies from expanding into towns without pre-existing gas service and removes the Department of Public Utilities' authority to approve gas expansions beyond a company's charter town. This directly affects gas utilities, towns without current gas infrastructure, and the state's approval process for energy projects.
