Gas Firms Seek End to North Carolina Service Ban
North Carolina Natural Gas Corp and two other firms ask the state Utilities Commission to lift the January 18 ban on new service. They warn that rates for existing customers would rise if new connections are not allowed to cover over $50 million in transmission investments. Industrial buyers had sought the ban to protect existing supplies amid cold weather. Public Service Co. cautions further allocations cuts could follow if residential service declines. Textile and brick manufacturers oppose lifting the ban, citing ongoing supply risks for high priority customers.
