Texas Gas Service would collect an additional $41.1 million from its customers each year through rate increases the company has requested in a regulatory filing.
If approved by the Texas Railroad Commission, the change would lead to a 9.83 percent jump in company revenues, excluding gas costs.
The Texas gas utility serves more than 600,000 residential customers across its Central-Gulf, West North, and Rio Grande Valley service territories. Currently, residential rates differ among those territories but they would become uniform under the company’s proposal. More specifically: customer charges for customers in the small residential class currently range from $21.36 to $23.64, depending upon service territory. Under the proposal, TGS would charge customers in that rate class a uniform $29.50 across its entire system.
In addition to those flat customer charges, the company also assesses volumetric rates ranging from $0.46668 (per 100 cubic feet) to $2.2 — with those rates likewise varying depending upon service territory. Under the company’s rate proposal, the company would assess a single $0.67553 volumetric rate across all service territories for customers in the small residential class. The company also charges separate rates for commercial and industrial customers, as well as for customers in other rate classes.
TGS filed its rate proposal on June 30. The Railroad Commission will make a final determination later this year, after a review and hearing process that will include city intervenors that represent consumer interests.
More information – including proposed rates for other rate classes under the company proposal — can be found on the Railroad Commission website, under Case No. OS-25-00028202.
