Minor Rate Filing
PURSUANT TO THE PROVISIONS OF THE State Administrative Procedure Act, NOTICE is hereby given of the following proposed rule:
Proposed Action:
The Commission is considering proposed tariff amendments, filed by Valley Energy, Inc., to P.S.C. No. 1 — Gas, to increase its total annual gas revenues by approximately $300,000, or 18.9%.
Statutory authority:
Public Service Law, sections 65 and 66
Subject:
Minor rate filing.
Purpose:
To ensure safe and adequate service at just and reasonable rates charged to customers without undue preferences.
Substance of proposed rule:
The Commission is considering a proposal, filed by Valley Energy Inc. (Valley Energy) on November 28, 2018, to amend its gas tariff, P.S.C. No. 1 – Gas, to increase its total annual gas revenues by approximately $300,000, or 18.9%.
Under the proposal, the monthly service charge for Service Classification (S..C). No. 1 – Residential, Commercial and Industrial would increase from $7.62 to $10.18 per month. Valley Energy proposes provisions and rates designed to increase the monthly bill of a S.C. No. 1 customer using approximately 82 ccf of gas per month from $26.72 to $35.71 or approximately 33.6% for Distribution; and 21.1% on a total bill percentage basis. Valley Energy states the need for the increase is driven by the increased operating and maintenance costs, additional regulatory requirements, and increased staff needs since rates were last set in 2005. The proposed amendments have an effective date of April 1, 2019.
The full text of the proposal and the full record of the proceeding may be reviewed online at the Department of Public Service web page: www.dps.ny.gov. The Commission may adopt, reject or modify, in whole or in part, the action proposed and may resolve related matters.
