This legislation would require each gas company to develop a plan for a pilot Thermal Energy Network System (TENS) in disadvantaged communities. TENS provides efficient, affordable, and reliable clean energy heating and cooling to entire neighborhoods through a shared network of water pipes that transfer heat in and out of buildings. These distributed energy heating and cooling systems are one of the most promising climate solutions available to ensure a safe, equitable, and just transition away from fossil fuels in buildings. -- Updated 4-16
