Gas Price Hike Block Cleared With Consumer Refund Rule
Federal appeals court cleared a July 27 FPC price ceiling for natural gas, conditionally allowing a rise of 4 to 8 percent next year. Producers may raise prices only if they agree to refund excess funds if the commission later rules the ceiling too high. If not, they cannot raise prices during the appeal. The hike would lift residential bills by about 5.20 dollars in Florida and 23.14 dollars in Ohio, with total costs near 1.5 billion.
