Domestic gas rate cuts favor small Cincinnati users
Cincinnati officials announce a gas rate plan reducing annual Union Gas and Electric revenue by about 750,000 dollars. The ordinance lowers minimum bills and shifts more relief to smaller domestic consumers, with 132,000 gas users affected and 118,000 in winter within observed steps. Affected tiers range from 65 to 50 cents per 1000 cubic feet, while larger customers still gain from lower first four steps. The council will debate the measure next week, with similar expectations on company action as seen with the electric rate case.
