Title
Resolution suspending the May 9, 2026 effective date of the proposal by Texas Gas Service Company, a division of One Gas Inc. to implement interim Gas Reliability Infrastructure Program (GRIP) rate adjustments for gas utility investment in 2025 and requiring delivery of this resolution to the company and legal counsel.
Summary
On Tuesday, March 10, Texas Gas Service Company made an Interim Rate Adjustment or “GRIP” filing with the cities within its service area. The Company is seeking recovery of $278,096,965 in invested capital. The current filing will increase rates to the average small residential customer by $3.58 per month. This will increase the current small residential customer charge from $19.50 to $23.08 per month. Large residential customers will see their customer charge increase from $35.00 to $38.58 per month, and small commercial customers will see their customer charge increase from $75.00 to $88.70 per month.
The increase is currently scheduled to go into effect on May 9, 2026.
Under the GRIP statute, cities may not challenge the Company’s request. The only action cities may take is to suspend the effective date of the rate increase by 45 days.
