Hey @bobwyman. I wondered if you could help me with something. I recall some public service law that restricts nat gas utilities from ratebasing geothermal infrstr. That true? Know the citation?

Thanks! The next question I have is: If that's the case, why would the PSC allow the GSHP pilots (e.g. ConEd, Natl Grid)? Seems counterintuitive. Aren't the cost of those pilots ratebased?
Pilots are special? But, more seriously: Spending which addresses a gas system issue is "spending on gas" even if not "gas." For instance, they can pay for demand response, even though that isn't "gas." So, some GHP spending is ok. Still, they can't fund GHP for non-gas users.
