California regulators vote to delay closure of gas storage facility, site of worst US methane leak
- California regulators have approved a proposal to delay the closure of the Aliso Canyon natural gas facility, which is the site of the nation’s largest known methane leak, as reported by the California Public Utilities Commission.
- The California Public Utilities Commission voted 4-0 to approve a judge’s proposed decision that Aliso Canyon should remain open for the time being, with one commissioner recused.
- Commissioners stated that the vote established a target for the level of demand for natural gas in Southern California that can be met without the need for the facility, indicating a future reduction in reliance on Aliso Canyon.
- The decision to delay closure comes after the methane leak in 2015 forced thousands of families from their Los Angeles homes, highlighting the facility's controversial history.
