PSC sets intervention deadline in Spire infrastructure surcharge request

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. - Spire Missouri, Inc. (Spire) has filed an application with the Missouri Public Service Commission seeking to adjust the infrastructure system replacement surcharge (ISRS) on the bills of its Spire West natural gas customers. The surcharge first appeared on customer bills in April 2004.

According to its application, Spire seeks the adjustment to reflect the annual reconciliation of the difference between the revenues resulting from its ISRS and the appropriate pretax revenues as found by the Commission for the period Oct. 8, 2018, through June 30, 2020, per Missouri statutes.

The current ISRS for residential customers of Spire West is $3.16 a month. Residential customers would pay an ISRS of $3.36 a month under Spire's application.

Applications to intervene and participate in this case must be filed no later than Aug. 21 with the Secretary of the Missouri Public Service Commission, P.O. Box 360, Jefferson City, Missouri, 65102, or by using the Commission's Electronic Filing and Information System (EFIS) at www.psc.mo.gov.
