On
June 26, 2009, we announced that our Oklahoma Natural Gas Company division
filed an application with the Oklahoma Corporation Commission seeking a
$66.08 million increase in that utility’s base rates. We have
not had a base rate adjustment in Oklahoma since July 2005.
In
testimony prepared for the rate case, Oklahoma Natural Gas Company
President Roger Mitchell pointed out that several expenses that now appear
as separate line-item charges on customers’ bills would be moved into base
rates under this proposal, effectively reducing the requested rate
increase to a net amount of $37.6 million.
In
accordance with Oklahoma law, the Oklahoma Corporation Commission will
have 180 days to consider Oklahoma Natural Gas Company’s proposed rate
changes.
