Northeast Gas Association Digital Series | Recorded Webinar
Gas Utilities are focused on multiple priorities that help them better meet customer needs, this includes finding new ways to innovate around non-pipeline solutions, productivity, and improving efficiencies
Watch the webinarsIn collaboration with the Northeast Gas Association, we’ve partnered with industry leaders to discuss tools, technologies, and services to enhance your operations.
Part 1: Non-Pipeline Solutions: Meeting Customer Load with Alternative Supply and Demand Options
Non-pipeline solutions can meet customer and system energy requirements and peak demand by deferring (or avoiding) traditional natural gas infrastructure investments with demand and/or supply side alternatives. Comparing traditional and non-pipe solutions requires use of strategic benefit-cost analyses to consider all the direct and indirect impacts of each option.

Part 2: Value Realization through Digital and Operations Excellence: Best Practices for Gas Utilities
Natural gas utilities, and in particular those in the Northeast are facing increasing pressure from regulators and customers to keep costs low, but are, at times, limited in their ability to decrease costs due to their place in the supply chain at the end of the product pipeline. To minimize rate increases utilities are searching for ways to improve efficiency, productivity, and stakeholder relations.
