The Kansas Corporation Commission announces to public hearings for questions and comments on the Kansas Gas Service rate case.
The first of two public hearings will take place this Thursday, June 13th, in Topeka at the Washburn Institute of Technology Main Conference Center, 5724 SW Huntoon, at 6pm. A second hearing will be held in Wichita next Monday, June 17th, Lowe Auditorium at the Hughes Metropolitan Complex, 5014 E. 29th St. North, also beginning at 6pm.
For those unable to attend in person, a virtual option through Zoom is available for both hearings to allow remote participants to comment and ask questions. Zoom participants must register in advance on the KCC’s website by noon the day before the hearing. The hearings will also be broadcast live on the KCC’s YouTube channel for viewing only with no registration required. Comments may be submitted on the KCC’s website, by mail to the Commission’s Office at 1500 SW Arrowhead Rd, Topeka, KS 66604-4027 or by calling the KCC’s Office of Public Affairs and Consumer Protection at 785-271-3140 or 800-662-0027.
Kansas Gas Service filed a request with the KCC in March asking for a rate increase in base rates of $58.1 million. If approved, the monthly average increase for customers would be between 8 and 11%.
The KCC will issue an order on the application by October 25.
