Southwest Gas submits RNG procurement deal to California PUC

In California, Southwest Gas Corporation (Southwest Gas) has submitted a procurement agreement to the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) that would bring renewable natural gas (RNG) to its California customers, marking an important step in supporting the state’s goals to reduce emissions from short-lived climate pollutants.

The agreement between Southwest Gas, Anew Climate LLC, and Anaergia, Inc. (Anaergia) subsidiary SoCal Biomethane, LLC (SCB) is the result of a competitive biomethane procurement process initiated by Southwest Gas. If approved, it will fulfill regulatory requirements under the CPUC’s Senate Bill (SB) 1440 Biomethane Procurement Program, which requires gas utilities to procure biomethane to help reduce methane emissions.
