NOTICE
Notice is hereby given, pursuant to Article 4, Section 21 (D)(1) of the Louisiana Constitution, that on May 14, 2024 South Coast Gas Company, Inc., a natural gas public utility distributing natural gas to residential and commercial customers in Lafourche and Terrebonne Parishes, filed with the Louisiana Public Service Commission (“LPSC”) an application seeking approval of an Interim Operating Revenue Rider to recover the amount of $568,322.75, which represents 45 days of operating revenue, and which shall be recovered from the payers at a rate of $2.55 per month per customer over 12 months beginning with the next billing month after approval by the PLSC. Proceeds from the Interim Operating Revenue Rider shall be applied to reduce existing Line of Credit principal balances incurred from revenue shortfalls to cover gas supply and operating expenses. It is estimated that the rate increase will have the following effect on typical monthly customer bills: a Residential customer using 1.7 MCF will increase from $27.88 to $30.43; and a Small Commercial customer using 18.0 MCF will increase from $192.47 to $195.02. The Interim Operating Revenue Rider shall terminate upon completing of the 12 month recover period.
