CLINTON —
The Iowa Utilities Board is encouraging customers of Alliant Energy/Interstate Power and Light Company to attend Tuesday’s public meeting regarding the utility’s request to increase its natural gas service rates in Iowa.
The meeting will provide an opportunity for customers to offer comments and ask questions directly to representatives of the IUB, Alliant/IPL, and the Office of Consumer Advocate.
The OCA represents the general interests of consumers in all IUB proceedings. The public comment meeting will take place at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday, July 17, at Clinton Community College, Auditorium, 1000 Lincoln Blvd., Clinton.
Alliant/IPL filed a request proposing to increase its natural gas service rates in Iowa on May 25. The proposed increase would generate about $14.8 million in additional annual revenue (5.6 percent increase).
Under Iowa law, a temporary revenue increase of $8.6 million (3.3 percent), which did not require pre-approval from the Iowa Utilities Board, went into effect on June 4, 2012.
If the Board establishes final rates that are less than those temporary rates, the difference collected by Alliant/IPL will be refunded to customers, with interest.
The board’s final decision in this case is anticipated by March 25, 2013, and the IUB is accepting written comments for the duration of the case.
To send written comments, consumers may send an email to customer@iub.iowa.gov, access the electronic comment form at iub.iowa.gov, or mail comments to the Iowa Utilities Board, Executive Secretary, Docket No. RPU-2012-0002, 1375 E. Court Avenue, Rm. 69, Des Moines, IA 50319-0069.
