Stargas Utilities seeks BCUC approval
to amend its Delivery and Commodity Rates

Stargas Utilities has made application to the BCUC to amend both its Delivery Rate (the cost to operate and deliver gas to the ratepayers) and the Commodity Rate  (the cost of the Natural Gas).  As we have successfully done in the past, the SSPOA will be registering as intervenors for both the proceedings described below:

The BCUC Proceeding on the Commodity Rate will be held first, with Stargas seeking an increase from $3.98 / Gigajoule (GJ) to $7.48 / GJ. Details can be found on the BCUC website:
https://www.bcuc.com/ApplicationView.aspx?ApplicationId=815

Important dates are:
Thursday, November 12, 2020 – Deadline to register as an intervenor with the BCUC
Thursday, November 26, 2020 – Deadline for registered intervenors to submit first round of information requests

The BCUC Proceeding on the Delivery Rate and proposed Rate Riders can be found on the BCUC website at:
https://www.bcuc.com/ApplicationView.aspx?ApplicationId=814.
Stargas is seeking a reduction from the current $5.77/GJ to $4.59/GJ in the Delivery Rate and a host of Rate Riders  that seem to make the reduction moot.

Important dates are:
Tuesday, November 17, 2020 – Deadline to register as an intervenor with the BCUC
Thursday, November 26, 2020– Deadline for registered intervenors to submit first round of information request

Stargas will be sending the ratepayers an official notice of the applications and as mentioned above, the SSPOA has registered as Intervenors for both proceedings to represent the ratepayers interest. The SSPOA website will be posting the Notices and will be providing updates on the submissions to the BCUC from the SSPOA.
