NEWS RELEASE: Commission vacates customer hearing, written comments deadline for
natural gas utility's rate case.
BOISE (Oct. 2, 2025)—The Idaho Public Utilities Commission has vacated a written comments
deadline and a customer hearing for an Intermountain Gas application to increase the rates it
charges to provide natural gas service to customers.
A customer hearing was initially scheduled for Thursday, Oct. 16, and the deadline to submit
written comments also was Oct. 16.
Parties to the case anticipate presenting a proposed settlement for the Commission's
consideration. Because a settlement has not been filed, the Commission will not set a new
customer hearing date and written comments deadline.
Intermountain Gas asked for Commission approval to increase the average residential customer's
monthly bill by 11.46 percent, or$4.69. The utility also asked for approval to increase the
monthly bill for commercial customers by 5.16 percent, or $9.26. Intermountain Gas said
operation and maintenance costs have increased by an average of 5.3 percent since the utility's
last rate case, and that it made investments in infrastructure.
If a proposed settlement is approved by the Commission, any change in rates could be different
from what was requested.
The Commission is continuing to accept written comments on the application. Comments are
required to be filed through the Commission website or by e-mail unless computer access is not
available. To comment electronically, please visit puc.idaho.gov and click on the "Case
