Dominion Hope Requests Lower Natural Gas Rates
WEST VIRGINIA....
Dominion Hope, which serves about 115,000 customers in West Virginia, says, if West Virginia regulators approve the company's request to cut their rates by 3 percent, residential customers could get a break on their monthly bills. Dominion says the average residential customer using 73,000 cubic feet of natural gas would pay $51 a month, down from $53, effective November 1st, if it's approved by the West Virginia Public Service Commission. Dominion says its costs to buy natural gas were lower than expected last winter, and the utility expects costs to continue to be lower than projected for the upcoming winter.
