New Camden Gas Rate Battle Yields Flat Net Change
A long Camden gas rate dispute ended with the new rate close to Hope’s allowing similar bills. Camden’s 7 cent base with discounts became a 58 cent net rate with no service charge and a $1.50 minimum, while Hope runs 55 cents net plus a $0.50 service fee. The case involved historic court rulings, refunds totaling $17,000, and a protracted legal fight led by local advocates and Mayor George R. Haynie.
