These costs are generally paid off over the expected \u201cuseful life\u201d of the infrastructure. For example, ConEd proposes to recover the cost of new gas mains over 80 years, without any demonstration as to how that proposal would impact the state\u2019s climate policies.<\/p>\n<p>ConEd has also signed up for 20 years of gas transportation service on the $3.5 billion Mountain Valley Pipeline, which some <a href=\"http:\/\/priceofoil.org\/content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/mountain_valley_pipe_web_final_v1.pdf\">estimate<\/a> will ultimately generate nearly 90 million metric tons of emissions \u2014 the equivalent of 19 million passenger vehicles.<\/p>\n<p>While some of this investment may be necessary in the short term, there is not a true accounting of the costs to ratepayers since these investments may not provide value over the lifetime of the infrastructure. The sensible solution is for gas utilities and their regulators to provide the transparent means to assess and weigh the true financial cost of these investments in the context of meeting New York\u2019s climate goals.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tools to reduce gas system emissions<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There are a number of solutions that can help set New York on a path toward meeting its climate goals in a timely manner. Here are four:<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 <strong>Create more transparency and access:<\/strong> The gas supply planning process should be more open, as EDF recently asserted in <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.edf.org\/energyexchange\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/38\/files\/2019\/05\/RI_Blog.pdf\">testimony<\/a> to the New York PSC. Decision makers and the public need a better handle on the true needs of the gas system, as well as the actual all-in costs of each alternative. Utilities should be required to provide detailed information on their gas demand projections and how they plan to meet those needs. Options should encompass non-pipeline alternatives, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eia.gov\/todayinenergy\/detail.php?id=37412\">demand response<\/a>, energy efficiency, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.energy.gov\/energysaver\/heat-pump-systems\/air-source-heat-pumps\">ground and air source heat pumps<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 <strong>Demonstrate compliance with climate goals:<\/strong> Gas utilities should be required to demonstrate that major infrastructure proposals will not interfere with New York\u2019s greenhouse gas emission goals, as is required under the CLCPA. Without accurate information and analyses from the utility, state regulators can\u2019t assess whether their approval of projects and requests is consistent with the new law.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 <strong>Address methane leaks:<\/strong> Methane is a potent greenhouse gas responsible for about a quarter of the warming we\u2019re experiencing today. It\u2019s also the principal ingredient in natural gas. Reducing the amount of methane leaking from the natural gas system is a crucial opportunity to slow the rate of warming now, even as we continue to decarbonize the energy system as a whole. We first need an accurate inventory of methane leaks. Utilities have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.edf.org\/climate\/methanemaps\">successfully shown<\/a> that advanced leak detection technology and analytics can find many more existing and ongoing leaks than traditional methods such as walking surveys, which can often miss relatively large leaks. We also need to refine the current incentive structures, which reward utilities primarily for reporting a lower number of leaks. While advanced leak detection technology can find many more leaks (which would add to a utility\u2019s backlog), utilities may be reluctant to adopt such technology if they are rewarded solely for reducing the number of leaks in their backlog. Utilities should be incentivized to find more leaks using advanced leak detection, estimate the flow rate (i.e., liters of methane per minute) and reduce those leaks by prioritizing the highest volume leaks first.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 <strong>Retiring leak-prone pipe:<\/strong> Utilities around the country have thousands of miles of aging gas lines made from cast iron and other leak-prone materials. Replacing this plumbing is costly; for example, Central Hudson Gas &amp; Electric <a href=\"http:\/\/documents.dps.ny.gov\/public\/Common\/ViewDoc.aspx?DocRefId=%7BC1503165-0FC5-401D-9823-C8F118862B6E%7D\">estimates<\/a> an average of $1.9 million per mile. Deliberate planning to retire gas infrastructure is necessary, including strategies to increase the adoption of heating electrification (e.g. air source and ground source heat pumps). Where feasible, safe and cost effective, utilities should consider permanently retiring sections of leak prone pipe if customers are able to convert to alternate forms of energy (as Central Hudson recently <a href=\"http:\/\/documents.dps.ny.gov\/public\/Common\/ViewDoc.aspx?DocRefId=%7BC1503165-0FC5-401D-9823-C8F118862B6E%7D\">proposed<\/a> and as Massachusetts is currently <a href=\"https:\/\/heetma.org\/feasibility-study-rfp\/\">studying<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>New York should be proud of the bold action its legislature recently took to set limits on the Empire State\u2019s greenhouse gas emissions. Now it\u2019s time to roll up our sleeves and make sure we have the tools in place to meet these goals.<\/p>\n<p><em>Erin Murphy is an attorney for energy markets and regulation.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Natalie Karas and Erin Murphy New York recently enacted one of the most ambitious climate targets in the country.
