APGA Supports BUILDER Act
Washington, D.C. (April 13, 2021) – The American Public Gas Association (APGA), representing more than 700 local, municipally-owned natural gas systems in 38 states, issued the following statement in response to new legislation regarding natural gas pipeline permitting:
“APGA supports responsible expansion of the natural gas pipeline network through efficient and timely permitting. The BUILDER Act does just that, striking the right balance between understanding environmental impact through an updated NEPA permitting process and building the infrastructure needed to get energy to American consumers. Public natural gas utilities are grateful for the leadership from Congressman Graves in introducing this important legislation.”
APGA is the national association of municipally and publicly-owned local distribution systems. There are about 1,000 public gas systems serving more than 6 million customers. These public gas utilities are not-for-profit retail distribution entities that are owned by, and accountable to, the citizens they serve. They include municipal gas distribution systems, public utility districts, county districts, and other public agencies that have natural gas distribution facilities.
