Black Hills predicts steady gas bills despite weather risk
Black Hills Energy officials told Lawrence city leaders that natural gas bills may be 60 to 80 percent of total monthly costs with service and delivery charges flat through 2010. They cited an El Niño forecast for a wetter but warmer winter and noted 99 new service connections in 2009, far below late 1990s levels, while voicing concern over a pending cap and trade energy bill.
