A federal appeals court has overturned Berkeley, California’s 2019 ban on natural gas in new construction, setting a precedent that is likely to impact dozens of other municipalities that have moved to end natural gas use or are considering a prohibition.
Berkeley was the first city in the U.S. to ban natural gas use in new construction, a move that the city council approved unanimously and said was necessary to support the city’s goal of achieving net-zero emissions by 2050.
Energy policy strategist Frank Maisano said the ruling could impact natural gas policies now under review in other municipalities. “Cities and states cannot ignore federal law in an effort to constrain consumer choice, and it is encouraging that the 9th Circuit upheld this standard,” California Restaurant Association officials said in a statement.
