Analyzing the Gas System: A Framework to Reduce Consumer Costs and Risks
The report highlights the rising costs of energy infrastructure in the U.S., noting that electric and gas utilities are planning trillions of dollars in investments that lead to higher consumer rates. It argues that while electric utilities have established tools for cost containment and risk management, gas utility oversight is lacking due to invisible infrastructure, insufficient data requirements, and a lack of technical expertise among decision-makers. The author proposes the adoption of Gas System Analysis (GSA) to provide the foundational data necessary for regulators to make informed, fiscally prudent decisions regarding gas distribution, transmission, and storage systems.
