Mass. bill proposes switching gas to electric

The Massachusetts Senate embedded a measure in its energy bill allowing utilities to cut natural gas service to neighborhoods if most residents choose to switch to electric heating, aiming to avoid leaving unused pipelines. Business groups and some stakeholders express concern that this could lead to increased costs and a broader phase-out of natural gas, amid debates over energy affordability, environmental goals, and the state's obligation to serve existing gas customers. The proposal has become a key point of contention in negotiations between the House and Senate, impacting legislation designed to promote energy transition and reduce carbon emissions.
