For the past couple of years, the Natural Resources Committee has been asking GRU to stop promoting fossil gas by providing up to $1600 in rebates to customers who buy/convert to gas appliances. In the fall of 2021, the City Commission asked GRU to review its rebate policies to see how eliminating the gas rebates would affect its income.

The gas rebates are on the General Policy meeting agenda for this Thursday, March 9th at 1:00 PM and also GRU’s recommendation to continue expanding gas infrastructure.

We need public pressure to ensure that these fossil gas rebates are eliminated once and for all.

Please send a letter to the City Commission and/or attend the meeting on March 9th to voice your opposition to the rebates. Read the full article for more information and sample letter templates.
