Columbia Gas Rates Rise
The state Public Service Commission recently approved a rate increase for Columbia Gas of Kentucky under which residential customers will pay $3.05 more monthly in customer charges, while going from $9.30 to $12.35. The increase is roughly half of what Columbia was seeking, which was $6.73. The gas delivery charge will remain at $1.87 per thousand cubic feet. Columbia is expected to experience an annual increase of $6.125 million from its 140,000 customers.
