WHY AM I RECEIVING THIS NOTICE? On September 10, 2018, Governor Jerry Brown signed SB 100, which established a policy for California to achieve carbon neutrality by 2045. On September 25, 2024, Governor Gavin Newsom signed SB 1221, in which the California Legislature recognized that natural gas use in residential buildings contributes to California's greenhouse gas emissions,' and that cost-effective, zero-emission alternatives to pipeline replacement projects can reduce gas system costs. As such, SB 1221 authorizes the CPUC to approve up to 30 pilot projects that facilitate cost-effective decarbonization in priority neighborhood decarbonization zones. The pilot projects are intended to provide state decision makers with a greater understanding of the challenges that arise when decommissioning parts of the natural gas system. The Gas Utilities were directed to submit maps of their respective gas distribution systems that include information such as foreseeable gas distribution pipeline replacement projects, disadvantaged communities, and tribal boundaries overlaid on a street map. The maps must be updated with their recommended priority neighborhood decarbonization zones by July 21, 2025. The CPUC will post links to the utility maps at a site dedicated to the implementation of SB 1221: https://www.cpuc.ca.gov/industries-and-topics/natural- gas/SB-1221-implementation.
