  4. NSTAR Gas (MA) Expansion • NSTAR Gas Needs to Install Main in to Satisfy MA Residents • 92% Penetration Rate • Low Use Customers – 12,808 • Non Customers on Main – 20,666 • Satisfying less than 1% of Main Extension Requests • By expanding natural gas access, there is an opportunity to: • Dramatically lower customer costs • Spur economic development and job creation • Impact carbon emissions and help achieve MA targets • Reduce oil consumption and promote fuel independence • Pending Legislation Will Support Expansion • We will work collaboratively with the DPU and AG to develop a multi-year expansion plan • Develop proposals to address the barriers to expansion • Propose a new regulatory construct that incents customers and LDCs

  5. Overcoming the Barriers Build on Existing Energy Efficiency Program Leverage existing energy efficiency programs to more aggressively grow natural gas access and defray inside the home conversion costs (i.e., provide higher incentives for high efficiency gas heating installations). Renter / Low Income Focus Increase incentives and/or financing options to encourage landlord and low income customer conversions Municipal & State Facilities Focus Develop programs for municipal customers to purchase equipment to convert to natural gas. Municipal & state facilities can act as anchor customers for broader expansion.
