Impact analysis
The study costs up to $95,000; any actual pipeline retirement could cost millions and shift customers to electric bills.
Ratepayers gain data-driven answers about future energy costs before any transition happens.
None directly; residents could face higher bills if electrification eventually moves forward without adequate cost offsets.
