The NGPR will close for new main extension projects on March 31, 2021 unless the Company decides to extend this program and the extension is approved by the Commission. The Company reserves the right to suspend the pilot program if, in its sole judgment, critical safety or reliability related issues require that the resources that would be used to implement the NGPR are needed to maintain safe and reliable natural gas service to its existing customers.
