"These results are an important proof-point that, with the right policy and regulatory support, within two years of contracting these projects, National Grid would be able to deliver an affordable and reliable clean energy transition for our customers."

"The RFI response alone is nearly double our 2025 need for fossil-free fuel and our analysis indicates that this initial response is not nearly the extent of RNG, hydrogen, and other innovative renewable resources that National Grid can procure," said James Holodak, Vice President, Energy Procurement, National Grid. National Grid has determined that these fossil-free energy supplies are either immediately available or could be online within two years of contracting the projects, validating the company's vision for fossil-free heat in the Northeast. Through the RFI responses, the company has determined there will be at least 33 trillion BTUs (TBtus) available in the next three years, more than double the 15 TBtus needed in 2025. Procurement of RNG and hydrogen are essential to National Grid's plan to deliver a 100% fossil-free gas network for customers who do not electrify their homes or businesses.

16, 2022 /PRNewswire/ - National Grid has located robust stocks of renewable natural gas (RNG) and hydrogen potentially available for its customers in Massachusetts and New York through the Company's first-of-its kind Northeast clean energy request for information (RFI) issued in May.
