CRA’s Natural Gas System Planning experts help utilities, regulators, pipeline operators, and investors make and defend complex decisions about the future of gas infrastructure. As demand patterns, affordability pressures, decarbonization policy, and regulatory expectations evolve, our work enables clients to maintain safe and reliable service while developing robust, defensible investment decisions across traditional infrastructure and alternative solutions.
We provide end-to-end support across long-term gas planning, demand and design-day forecasting, supply portfolio strategy, capital planning, non-pipeline alternatives, and integrated gas-electric analysis. CRA combines detailed utility and market data with scenario analysis, economic modeling, engineering-informed assessment, and regulatory expertise to evaluate system needs, infrastructure options, customer impacts, and cost-risk trade-offs under a range of future conditions.
Our teams support utilities in developing filing-ready plans and implementation frameworks, and assist regulators through independent review of utility long-term plans.
