The Wyoming Public Service Commission (Commission) approved the Application of Questar Gas Company, d/b/a Enbridge Gas Wyoming (Enbridge or the Company) to amortize the Conservation Enabling Tariff Balancing Account resulting in a rate increase to $0.28151 per dekatherm (Dth), for all General Service Small (GSS) class customers, and a rate increase to $0.05480 per Dth, for all General Service Large (GSL) class customers, effective for usage on and after November 1, 2024. The Company submitted additional applications, requesting rate changes to take effect concurrently with this filing, resulting in an overall rate decrease of $0.24408 per Dth for GSS class customers.
The proposed changes are based on the amortizations of under collected balances of $676,747.14 for GSS and $52,694.56 for GSL as of August 2024, and on a 12-month test year ending October 31, 2025. The Company’s proposal results in an annual increase of approximately $20.44 or 2.43% before taxes, for a residential customer using 80 Dth. However, when combined with other proposed rate changes taking effect on November 1, 2024, the net result is a decrease of $19.53 or 2.32% before taxes, for a residential customer using 80 Dth annually. Actual bills will vary with usage.
