RELEASED BY THE MISSOURI PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION
Atmos Energy Corporation (Atmos) has filed an application with the Missouri Public Service Commission seeking to adjust the infrastructure system replacement surcharge (ISRS) on the natural gas bills of its customers. The ISRS first appeared on customer bills in November 2008.
Atmos is seeking to adjust the current ISRS to reflect infrastructure replacement investments made by the natural gas company from April 1, 2008 through June 30, 2009. These costs for natural gas pipeline replacements and relocations are not currently included in Atmos' rates.
The current ISRS for residential customers in Atmos' west service area is $0.20 a month. Atmos seeks an increase to $0.66 a month. The current ISRS for residential customers in the southeast service area is $0.22 a month.
Atmos seeks an increase to $0.51 a month. The current ISRS for residential customers in the northeast service area is $1.17 a month. Atmos seeks an increase to $2.91 a month.
Applications to intervene and participate in this case must be filed no later than December 23, 2009, with Secretary of the Missouri Public Service Commission, P.O. Box 360, Jefferson City, Missouri 65102 or by entry into the Public Service Commission's electronic and information system (EFIS).
