PUCO seeks restraining order pullback in gas pricing case
The Public Utilities Commission of Ohio asks Franklin County Judge William Gillie to rescind a restraining order blocking Columbia Gas of Ohio from charging residential customers a share of the extra cost for gas bought for industrial and commercial use. PUCO argues the court intruded on its jurisdiction and warned against setting a bad precedent that could invite more court-ordered rate delays. The judge had previously blocked pass-through billing pending a March 2 hearing.
