Rate Boost On Natural Gas Okayed
The Federal Power Commission issued a new rate schedule doubling the ceiling price for new natural gas from the Permian Basin area of Texas and New Mexico. Old gas gains 23 cents per thousand cubic feet while new gas rises to 45 cents. The plan includes a 1-cent per week increase for old gas starting January 1 1974 and a 0.5-cent gathering allowance with tax adjustments. The decision aims to spur exploration and development, with the 1965 Permian Basin rates marking a historic regulatory shift upheld by the Supreme Court.
