Pass-through fuel hearing set for Austin on Aug second
A statewide hearing on the pass through of fuel costs on utility bills is scheduled before the Texas Railroad Commission on August 2. Gas Utilities Division Director Frank Youngblood urged the action, arguing many ratepayers view the fuel adjustment as profit. The hearing will allow gas utilities, municipalities and other interested parties to present evidence on gas costs, acquisition, prepayments, pricing from affiliates, earnings attrition, rate case proliferation and potential effects on utility credit ratings.
