Location-Specific Analysis of Decommissioning to Support Long-Term Gas Planning

Conduct location-specific analysis of promising candidate sites for decommissioning (e.g., those with known pipe integrity and corrosion issues), examining the implications of decommissioning on the remaining gas system (e.g., changes in gas system operating pressures). The research will help bridge the gap between high-level gas system planning and local decommissioning pilots, providing CPUC, local governments, IOUs, and other stakeholders with a valuable approach for assessing the technical and economic feasibility of, and other issues related to, decommissioning specific segments of the gas system.
