Key Achievement

The NPGA’s latest achievement involves a successful proposal to the NCWM, aimed at improving the standards and practices surrounding propane measurement. This proposal addresses critical issues that have long affected the industry, including measurement accuracy and consistency.

Improving Measurement Standards

One of the core issues NPGA tackled is the accuracy of propane measurements. Accurate measurements are vital for both consumers and businesses, ensuring fair pricing and proper billing. The NPGA’s proposal focused on refining these measurement standards to eliminate discrepancies and promote uniformity across the industry.

This victory brings several key benefits to the propane industry:

Enhanced Accuracy: Improved measurement standards will lead to more precise billing and fair pricing for consumers.
Industry Trust: By advocating for fair practices, NPGA reinforces trust and reliability within the propane industry.
Regulatory Alignment: The updated standards align with regulatory expectations, ensuring compliance and reducing the risk of disputes.

Amber marks the 8 states whose LP-gas licensing law still names CETP by name.

States naming CETP in law: Georgia, Idaho, Kansas, Louisiana, Maryland, Missouri, Utah, West Virginia.

Looking Ahead

The NPGA’s successful proposal is a significant step forward for the propane industry. It demonstrates the association’s proactive approach to addressing industry challenges and its dedication to fostering a fair and transparent marketplace.

This achievement with the NCWM sets a positive precedent for future advocacy efforts. The NPGA remains committed to championing the interests of its members and ensuring the propane industry’s growth and sustainability.
