OBJECTIVE: HOW THE GAS SYSTEM CONTRIBUTES TO US ENERGY SYSTEM RESILIENCE TO PROVIDE A FRAMEWORK FOR REGULATORS, POLICYMAKERS, AND OTHER STAKEHOLDERS TO EXAMINE ENERGY SYSTEM RESILIENCE AND THE ROLE OF THE NATURAL GAS SYSTEM. THIS STUDY ADDRESSES FOUR KEY QUESTIONS:1.WHAT ARE THE CHARACTERISTICS OF THE US GAS SYSTEM THAT CONTRIBUTE TO ITS RESILIENCE?2.HOW DO THOSE RESILIENCE CHARACTERISTICS ALLOW THE US GAS SYSTEM TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE OVERALL RESILIENCE OF THE US ENERGY SYSTEM?3.HOW CAN THE US GAS SYSTEM BE LEVERAGED MORE EFFECTIVELY TO STRENGTHEN THE US ENERGY SYSTEM?4.WHAT ARE THE POLICY AND REGULATORY CHANGES NEEDED TO ENSURE THAT GAS INFRASTRUCTURE CAN BE MAINTAINED AND DEVELOPED TO CONTINUE TO SUPPORT ENERGY SYSTEM RESILIENCE?ACCOMPLISHMENTS: THE REPORT HIGHLIGHTS THE GAS SYSTEM'S ABILITY TO SUPPORT RESILIENCE THROUGH ITS INHERENT, PHYSICAL, AND OPERATIONAL CAPABILITIES THAT ENABLE IT TO MEET THE VOLATILE DEMAND PROFILES RESULTING FROM RESILIENCE EVENTS. THE CONSULTANT FOUND THAT THE GAS SYSTEM SUPPORTS A QUICK RESPONSE TO EVENTS AND PROVIDES LONG-DURATION STORAGE RESOURCES TO MEET PEAK AND SEASONAL ENERGY DEMAND. THE FINDINGS PRESENTED IN THIS WORK ALSO IDENTIFY ISSUES THAT MERIT CONSIDERATION AND FURTHER EXPLORATION WHEN DEVELOPING FUTURE ENERGY POLICY AND REGULATION TO ENSURE A RESILIENT, RELIABLE, AND CLEAN FUTURE ENERGY SYSTEM IN ALL REGIONS AND JURISDICTIONS. 356364 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 18 18 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 X DOUGLAS C ALLEN 2028247261 400 NORTH CAPITOL STREET NW NO 450 WASHINGTON DC 20001 X ROBERT S MCANNALLY CHAIRMAN 1.00 X X 0 0 0 KEVIN AKERS TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 DAVID ANDERSON TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 DAVID BIEGLER TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 MARYAM BROWN TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 DAVID CARROLL TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 SCOTT DOYLE TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 GORDON GILLETTE TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 KAREN HARBERT TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 RUSSELL HARRIS TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 JOHN HUDSON TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 JAMES LAURITO TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 THOMAS MASSARO TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 GARRICK ROCHOW TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 JOHN SOMERHALDER TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 NICK STAVROPOULOS TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 PABLO VEGAS TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 RICHARD WILLIAMSON TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 RICHARD MURPHY EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 5.00 X 0 0 0 MICHAEL MURRAY GENERAL COUNSEL 1.00 X 0 0 0 DOUGLAS ALLEN TREASURER 1.00 X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 GUIDEHOUSE 1200 19TH ST NW WASHINGTON DC 20036 CONSULTANT 299792 1 461000 461000 558 558 461558 0 0 558 108844 56572 52272 13428 13428 2070 2070 3965 3965 2387 2387 RESEARCH STUDIES 299792 299792 430486 356364 74122 0 367952 305224 11935 3581 10741 8354 378693 313578 131418 35231 131418 35231 X 247275 278347 247275 278347 378693 313578 31072 0 X 0 1 X 1 0 X 145200 262202 105000 452500 461000 1425902 145200 262202 105000 452500 461000 1425902 561218 864684 756 949 743 1053 558 4059 1429961 150099 0.60470 0.59570 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 11935 3581 8354 8354 550402 88844 88844 461558 0 461558 519330 88844 88844 430486 0 430486 FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION A, LINE 6 THE FOUNDATION HAS TRUSTEES AND MEMBERS, WHO PROVIDE FUNDING TO IT ON AN ANNUAL VOLUNTARY BASIS.
