All modeled scenarios showing that all-electric customers will have lower energy bills than gas customers by 2040, underscoring the need for utility regulators to invest in electrification as part of Illinois’ Future of Gas Proceeding.
ILLINOIS — “Electrification is the most affordable pathway forward for residents across Illinois and as the The Decarbonization Pathways Study makes clear, all-electric customers will see lower energy bills than gas customers in just a few short years. Now is the time to stop sinking money into an aging gas system that saddles gas customers with record costs and rewards for-profit gas utilities with record profits.”
“By redirecting investments toward efficient electric homes that can run on affordable clean energy we can lower utility bills and build healthier communities. This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to secure lasting energy affordability while keeping us safe and comfortable at home and we urge lawmakers to act.”
