Elyria Considers Joining Columbia Gas Rate Fight
Elyria may join about 10 Lorain and Cuyahoga counties communities in opposing Columbia Gas rate increases. Mayor Keys supports joining the coalition to seek fact finding and possible rate delay, with actions including intervening before the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission and filing complaints with Ohio utilities regulators. The group cites Columbia’s rates about $33 monthly higher than East Ohio Gas, while Columbia argues it buys costly gas to ensure future supply. The city would pay 1670 to join if council approves.
