Avangrid, Inc. (NYSE: AGR), a leading sustainabile energy
company and member of the Iberdrola Group, has announced that it
will use a non-pipes alternative (NPA) solution in Irondequoit, NY
to realize Avangrid’s first Whole Home Electrification Program
project. The project, in Rochester Gas and Electric’s (RG&E)
service area, will result in the removal of 119 feet of leak-prone
gas main to ultimately achieve electrification of three homes via
an NPA solution.
“These types of projects demonstrate our commitment to
decarbonization efforts across the country,” said Pedro Azagra,
Avangrid CEO. “As Avangrid’s renewable work and its utilities
increasingly promote climate change objectives, projects like this
will serve as a roadmap for our operations across the company.”
“This program delivers benefits to customers and society as a
whole,” said Trish Nilsen, president and CEO of New York State
Electric & Gas (NYSEG) and RG&E. “We use cost-effective
solutions to avoid traditional natural gas capital projects that
would otherwise be needed to address system requirements.”
NPAs support the Company’s commitment to a zero-net increase in
natural gas use, as well as system decarbonization efforts
resulting in reduced greenhouse gas emissions that help achieve New
York’s climate and clean energy targets – including those
established by the Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act
(CLCPA). The Companies have committed more than $4 billion for
clean energy and energy efficiency projects proposed throughout New
York state, as part of CLCPA goals to increase renewable energy and
reduce greenhouse emissions by 40 percent by 2030.
One homeowner who participated said, “I was extremely reluctant
to do this project. I thought this must be one of those ‘too good
to be true.’ Being so skeptical, I was the last to sign on. I am so
fortunate that I chose YES. I am so grateful and overwhelmed by the
generosity bestowed on me.”
The objective of the Whole Home Electrification Program is to
target leak-prone main replacement projects where feasible and
achieve full electrification of buildings located in these areas to
enable retirement of the impacted section of gas main. To make
these projects as economical as possible, NPA-based incentives are
combined with others that may be available (e.g., New York State
Clean Heat Program), resulting in conversion packages offered to
customers at no cost.
At NYSEG and RG&E, the NPA process has been integrated into
the gas system planning process and all natural gas projects
involving the construction of new pipeline or the replacement or
expansion of existing pipeline are screened for applicability of
NPA solutions. RG&E has partnered with ICF Resources, LLC to
deliver this beneficial opportunity for exclusive upgrades to
customers within the targeted segments of gas main.
