California Regulators to Vote on State's First Renewable Natural Gas Tariff Pilot for Sempra Utilities
December 2, 2020 - California regulators are set to vote on a proposed three-year renewable natural gas (RNG) tariff pilot program for Southern California Gas (SoCalGas) and San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E), which, if approved, would be the first such tariff in the state.
The pilot would allow the utilities to offer their customers a voluntary tariff through which they could purchase renewable natural gas (RNG) — or biomethane, emitted from agricultural and waste products — as part of their gas service. It would aim to accelerate the use of low-carbon RNG and develop supplies of the gas in California and across the country.
