CHARLESTON, W.Va. — Mountaineer Gas has proposed a double-digit rate increase for its roughly 218,000 customers spanning 50 of West Virginia’s 55 counties.
The Charleston-based utility last week proposed changes in rates and charges that would increase company revenue roughly $44.5 million annually effective Nov. 1 — a 39.2% hike.
Under that proposal, average monthly bills would increase:
- $12.51 (15.6%) for residential
- $62.49 (19.8%) for commercial
- $440 (9.2%) for industrial
- $1,479 (28.1%) for resale customers, which include Canaan Valley Gas Company, Cardinal Natural Gas Company, Consumers Gas Utility Company, Hope Gas, Inc., Megan Oil and Gas Company, and City of Philippi.
