Intermountain Gas files for an overall decrease to its price~GlnAtJGl i AM .9: 33
On August 11,2010, Intermountain Gas Company filed for a 0.83% decrease to its annuaL.
Gas Cost Adjustment application with the Idaho Public Utilties Commission. The req4ffJ
decrease of approximately $2.2 million and if approved, would be effective October 1,"2Õ'r
Residential customers using natural gas for space heating and water heating will save an average
1.58% or $0.90 a month, while customers using natural gas only for space heating will see an average
increase of $0.09 a month or 0.20%, based on average weather and usage.
Commercial customers, on average, would have a savings of $0.18 (0.07%) per month.
"We are very pleased to be able to hold the line on natural gas prices this year." said Frank Morehouse,
Executive Vice President and General Manager of Intermountain. "The overall demand for natural gas
remains low while natural gas supplies are plentifuL. This continued imbalance between supply and
demand has kept the near term prices for natural gas relatively low. Some of our customers will see a
decrease while others wil have a slight increase. This is due to the inclusion of all costs of getting the
gas from the producers to the end users. While the cost of the gas declined, the costs of transportation
and delivery have increased."
Intermountain continues to urge all its customers to use energy wisely. Conservation tips and
information on government payment energy assistance are provided through bill inserts and on the
company's website (ww.intgas.com). The website also outlines a number of programs and tips to help
our customers level out their energy bills over the year, and stabilize the potential impact that cold
weather will have during periods of higher natural gas usage.
A Purchased Gas Cost Adjustment application is filed each year to reflect the costs Intermountain
incurs on behalf of its customers in its sales prices. The request is subject to public review and approval
by the Idaho Public Utilities Commission. A copy of the application is available for review at the
Commission and Intermountain Gas offices and on the Commission's homepage.
