Central Hudson is pursuing Non-Pipe Alternatives opportunities across the service territory. Central Hudson has achieved some success with TMA, a category of NPAs that targets areas along the gas system with low customer saturation and aging pipe infrastructure. Customers along these sections of pipe, if willing, are removed from the gas system, entirely converting the building off natural gas and electrifying.

PA notes that RNG supply across the state of New York will be limited. Central Hudson may find difficulty in procuring adequate volumes of RNG to meet their GHG emission reduction targets. 

The lack of meaningful NPA implementation in the Central Hudson’s service territory. Existing processes can be improved to begin successful deployment of NPA’s.
