The Iowa State Commerce Commission allowed Iowa Power to refund 4.3 million dollars plus interest and taxes to electric customers, with credits on bills starting late January. Gas refunds were not issued as 100 percent of the gas rate increase was approved. Residential refunds average about 14 dollars, with 7 percent interest and sales taxes. The company notes 1973 revenues only and foresees possible higher electric rates to fund future needs.
