Notice
Summary
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission got a bunch of new filings from natural gas pipeline companies about rate changes and fuel cost updates.

If you’re involved with these pipelines, keep an eye out and comment by August 12, 2025!
Analyzed Economic Effects
3 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 0 costs, 3 mixed.
Pipeline rate filings may change bills
Several natural gas pipeline companies filed rate and refund-related submissions that list effective dates of August 1, 2025 or September 1, 2025. These filings could change how much pipeline customers pay or how much they are refunded once the Commission acts.
Fuel cost and reimbursement updates filed
Several filings specifically update fuel gas reimbursement, fuel retention percentages, and quarterly fuel reconciliations with effective dates of August 1, 2025 or September 1, 2025. If approved, these changes could alter how pipelines recover fuel costs and therefore change charges or refunds to customers.
Negotiated rates and contract changes filed
Multiple filings report negotiated-rate agreements, capacity release agreements, assignments, and name changes with effective dates of August 1, 2025 and September 1, 2025. These filings may change contract terms or pricing for counterparties that have negotiated deals with the pipelines.
