Long-Term Gas System Planning Process

Pursuant to the Order Adopting Gas System Planning Process issued by the New York Public Service Commission on May 12, 2022, we’re developing long-term plans for our natural gas system along with the State’s largest energy companies. The Order requires, among other things, that each local distribution company file long-term plans on a three-year cycle.

On October 23, 2024, National Grid filed a Revised Gas System Long-Term Plan which primarily reflects required updates to the Company’s scenario analyses utilizing demand forecasts that were finalized in June 2024, which occurred shortly after filing the Initial Gas System Long-Term Plan on May 31, 2024. This plan outlines the steps the company and the State need to take to put New York on track to achieve the State’s Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act’s emission reduction goals.

Technical Conferences

As part of the Gas System Planning Process, National Grid will conduct technical conferences to present information to stakeholders and PSC staff. The focus of these meetings will be our filing and related updates. We will post the meeting presentations following each conference. You can view the presentations below:

Prior to the filing, on May 8, 2024, National Grid hosted an Informational Session for stakeholders to share information regarding our natural gas system generally and enable stakeholder participation in the long-term planning process. After the presentation there was a question-and-answer session to address matters related to the presented materials. Stakeholders can view the presentation here.

National Grid is committed to transforming our networks with smarter, stronger, cleaner energy solutions to deliver a more robust, resilient, and secure energy network for our customers and communities.
