Gas line extended to ADU is preferred for sure.PG&E doesn't allow people to install gas submeters on their own (you can install an electricity submeter yourself for a few hundred dollars after filling out an easy online application).

If he defaults in 12 months you have a strong negotiating position to extend. 4.1) Check out his credit and experience to judge whether he is likely to be able to pull this off. 4.2) You are protected because your loan should be in first place.

Usually the utility company will not extend their responsibilities to the customer’s houseline.

The 6 months timeline that was mentioned here can be extended, which I did with mine.
