FERC Tackles Pipeline Rate Changes and Refunds Filings
Published Date: 11/21/2025
Notice
Summary
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission got a bunch of filings from natural gas companies about their rates and refunds. These filings could change how much customers pay starting October or November 2025. If you’re involved or interested, you’ve got until mid to late October to share your thoughts or protests.
Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 0 costs, 2 mixed.
Natural gas rate filings may change bills
You may see changes to your natural gas charges because many pipeline companies filed rate and refund reports that are set to take effect on 10/1/2025 or 11/1/2025. These filings could change how much customers pay when they become effective on those dates.
Termination of TSCA mechanism on 10/31/2025
You could be affected by National Fuel Gas Supply Corporation's filing to terminate its Transportation Cost Adjustments (TSCA) mechanism effective 10/31/2025. That termination may change how transportation costs are passed through to customers after October 31, 2025.
