Spend the day in community with climate advocates from across the state to defend our hard-fought wins and strategize for more victories in 2026!

We’re gathering in Albany to call on Governor Hochul to slow down gas infrastructure expansion in NY by signing the 100-Foot Rule Repeal, the first pillar of the NY HEAT Act (more info below).

Repealing the 100-Ft Rule will move us closer to meeting our climate goals while protecting our wallets, our air, and our futures!

The day will include a lunch & learn with dynamic speakers from New York State's climate movement who will identify strategic opportunities for advocacy in 2026.

You'll leave feeling empowered to help build our clean energy future one step at a time!

What's the 100-Foot Rule? It’s a section of New York law that requires utilities to charge all customers for new pipes within 100 feet of an existing service line. For decades, gas utilities have been using the 100-Foot Rule to add extra charges to our gas bills to pay for unnecessary infrastructure, increasing their record profits!

How much is it costing us? New analysis from Public Utility Law Project shows it cost gas ratepayers across the state about $600 million in 2021 – three times higher than our previous estimate. That's about $6 billion over the last ten years that could have been spent on cleaner, more efficient heating and cooling systems!

Why should we repeal it? Repealing the 100-Foot Rule will curb skyrocketing utility bills, reduce gas demand, and make it easier for utilities to transition to a clean energy future that's better for our wallets, our health, and the environment.

How is it related to All-Electric Buildings? The bill puts all-electric heating on a more level playing field with methane gas heating by reflecting the true cost of new gas hookups. New Yorkers who rely on delivered fuels are looking for alternatives as fuel prices skyrocket. Further, the All-Electric Buildings Act for new construction won’t be fully implemented until 2029 (or later!). Meanwhile, we’re all footing the bill for those new gas pipes.
