BOISE(Aug. 28, 2024)—The Idaho Public Utilities Commission is accepting written comments on an application from Intermountain Gas to decrease the rates it charges customers. The utility is asking for commission approval to change rates effective Oct. 1, 2024, that reflect changes in its purchased gas adjustment(PGA) costs. The rates include a base-rate component and a gas-related cost, which is the PGA component.The base rate component is designed to cover the utility's fixed costs to serve customers. These costs include expenses for equipment and facilities to provide service.The PGA is a commission- approved mechanism that adjusts rates up or down to reflect changes in the utility's costs to buy natural gas from suppliers, including changes in transportation, storage and other related costs. Intermountain Gas defers these costs into its PGA account and then passes them on to customers through an increase or decrease in rates. If the utility's application is approved by the commission, a typical residential customer's monthly bill would decrease by$6.69 or 13.14 percent, and the typical commercial customer's bill would decrease by$33.26, or 14.46 percent. The commission can approve, deny or modify the application. Written comments are being accepted until Sept. 11, 2024.
