Midwest Energy to raise natural gas delivery charge
The Kansas Corporation Commission approved a delivery charge increase by Midwest Energy Inc to about six 50 per month for an average residential customer. The annual rise totals 4.85 million dollars or 10.9 percent, affecting 45 000 Kansas customers including Scott City Dighton Scoti Tribune Iakin Deerfield Ingalls and Montezuma. Local residents worry about fixed incomes while Midwest officials say most costs are fixed and the higher charge targets the delivery system costs, not the gas used. Community members note aid programs like LIEP remain available through March 2003.
