**body:**

These rules implement § 40-3.2-108, C.R.S., for gas distribution utilities and small gas
distribution utilities. Consistent with statutory requirements including the statewide
greenhouse gas pollution goals set forth in § 25-7-102(2)(g), C.R.S., the purpose of

these clean heat plan rules is to maximize methane and carbon dioxide emissions
reductions from the distribution and end-use consumption of gas while also maintaining
just and reasonable rates, maintaining system safety, reliability and resiliency, and
prioritizing investments in disproportionately impacted communities. The utility must
utilize clean heat resources to the maximum extent practicable and count greenhouse
gas emission reductions resulting from the use of those resources.
