Renewable Natural Gas (RNG)
• Planned investments for gas utility under Senate Bill 98
The timing and amount of the capital expenditures and projects for 2023 or additional investments in our infrastructure during or after
2023 could change based on customer growth, significant changes in prevailing regulatory policies or outcomes, or significant local, state
or federal laws, legislation or regulations, or cost estimates. Required funds for the investments are expected to be internally generated
or financed with long-term debt or equity, as appropriate.
