Columbia Gas of Ohio Backs Local Rate Claims Amid Survey Critique
Columbia Gas of Ohio dismissed a statewide rate survey by Ohio Consumers' Counsel William Spratley as misleading. It argued the proposed uniform rate would raise some bills while lowering others, and cited an example where 15 000 cubic feet should cost 43 81 rather than 55 87. The company noted its higher per customer costs in rural areas justify higher charges in some communities. It also compared its Columbus city rate with other Ohio metropolitan utilities, claiming competitive pricing overall. Separately, the article notes political shifts with Kenneth Blackwell named vice mayor under Springer and James Luken stepping down after one year as mayor.

PUCO chides C and SOE over management and rates
PUCO reports blame Columbus and Southern Ohio Electric for cash flow woes on poor management and inefficiency rather than customer rates. It recommends only 3.4 million of a 45.5 million rate request, a cut of 714 thousand in rates with a 9.7 percent return, and steps such as scaling construction, time of day pricing, and lower dividend commitments. The decision due by April 1 will consider the report alongside utility and consumer group arguments. The Athens Messenger.
