Department:

PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION

Chapter:

GAS SERVICE BY GAS PUBLIC UTILITIES

Overview

RULE:

25-7.083

Customer Deposits

PURPOSE:

The interest rate applied to customer deposits of gas utilities would be changed to a minimum interest rate of 2 percent per annum, and 3 percent per annum for non-residential customers when the utility elects not to refund such a deposit after 23 months.
Docket No. 120125-PU

SUMMARY:

The current interest rates required on customer deposits are higher than justified by current credit and capital markets.  The minimum interest rate is changed to 2 percent per annum, and to 3 percent per annum for non-residential customers when the utility elects not to refund such a deposit after 23 months.  Currently, the minimum interest rates are set at 6 percent and 7 percent per annum, respectively.  The utilities must apply the revised interest rates within 45 days of the effective date of the rule.
