The electric increase totals about 2,078,000 annually, a 3 percent rise, equating to roughly 75 cents more per month for the average home user. Gas rates would rise about 18 cents monthly for homes with gas heat, around 1½ percent. Hearings proceed in two phases, with final decision expected mid-1974 and refunds with interest if any amounts are disallowed.
