D.C. Commission Greenlights $150 Million in Dirty Gas Spending Washington, D.C., Public Service Commission approves $150 million in dirty gas spending that harms ratepayers and threatens climate targets
Contacts Washington, D.C.
The D.C. Public Service Commission put District gas customers on the hook last week for another $150 million investment in Washington Gas’s outdated pipeline spending proposal. The full, 30-year spending proposal will cost ratepayers up to $4.5 billion on the gas utility’s fossil fuel distribution system, which itself is only valued at $525 million. Washington Gas’s plan is incompatible with D.C.’s climate commitment to phase out fossil use by 2050 and flies in the face of the real actions needed and outlined in the Clean Energy D.C. plan.
