Gas Company Fights Out Rates In Pennsylvania
The Peoples Natural Gas Company of Pittsburgh challenged a Public Utility Commission order to cut rates calling for a $27 million depreciation reserve not to be used in rate calculations. CEO E M Berger argued the company deserves a fair value basis for property. The PUC would cut about $3.8 million in charges to 180,000 customers across multiple counties. The dispute centers on whether depreciation reserves should affect the rate cut and credit repayments.
