PSC Rules on Mountaineer Gas Base Rates On October 31st, the Public Service Commission ordered an adjustment in the base rates charged by Mountaineer Gas allowing the company to increase its revenue by $6.265 million, or 2.54 percent. Mountaineer requested an increase of $12,187,218, or 4.9 percent. The Commission recently ordered a decrease in Mountaineer’s rate for recovering its purchased gas costs. Because of the concurrent decrease in Mountaineer’s Purchased Gas Adjustment there will be a net decrease in the average monthly residential bills of approximately $5.24, or 8.3 percent. The natural gas utility’s base rate typically accounts for approximately one third of a customer’s gas bill and covers all the company’s expenses to deliver natural gas to its customers except for the cost of purchased gas. The base rate includes an allowance for a return on the company investment, costs of repair, improvement and maintaining utility property, taxes, and depre-
