    Why gas companies are spending big in ‘fossil fuel free’ communities

    Ten Massachusetts communities pledged to go fossil fuel free starting in 2024, but gas companies are spending $100 million on infrastructure upgrades in these areas. The state's Gas System Enhancement Plan (GSEP) faces scrutiny for high costs and limited benefits, while gas companies argue they are legally obligated to serve customers who still use gas.

    Ten communities in Massachusetts went ‘fossil fuel free.’ Then utilities spent $100M on natural gas infrastructure there.

    Ten Massachusetts communities adopted 'fossil fuel free' policies banning gas hookups in new construction and major renovations. Despite these efforts, utilities Eversource and National Grid spent $100 million upgrading gas infrastructure in nine of these communities since the policies were enacted, primarily to replace leaky pipes under the state's Gas System Enhancement Plan.
