Enbridge Gas Utah told the Utah Public Service Commission on Jan. 24 it seeks rate recovery for investment made under the rural expansion tracker model in docket 24-057-25. The company requested an incremental revenue requirement of $1,785,133 for work done Dec. 1, 2023–Nov. 30, 2024, including mains and service lines to serve communities such as Green River and Genola.

Company statement: Austin Summers, Enbridge’s manager of rates and regulation, said the filing covers high-pressure and intermediate high-pressure mains and service lines already installed in several towns. Summers said the filing is the company’s third rural-expansion request under the tracker model approved in prior commission dockets and that additional service-line costs for some communities will be filed in future requests.

Customer impact and division view: Summers said a typical GX residential customer using 70 dekatherms per year would see an annual bill increase of about $0.98 (roughly 0.5%). The Division of Public Utilities recommended interim approval with an effective date of Feb. 1, 2025, and said it will complete an audit before making a final recommendation. DPU filed a memorandum Jan. 21; DPU and company staff corrected a numeric error in the memo’s budget table (Goshen/Alberta line) and updated one sentence to refer specifically to "interim rates." Eric Orton of the division confirmed the corrected table and wording and the division’s recommendation to approve interim rates pending the audit.

Procedural and record notes: The company and DPU clarified the corrected Enbridge exhibit 1.06u attached to the division’s filing and agreed the correction did not affect the tariff sheets or calculated rates in the exhibits. The division’s corrected memorandum and the company’s exhibits were admitted into the record; the presiding officer said the commission will issue orders in due course.

What was not decided: The hearing transcript records motions admitting exhibits and DPU’s interim approval recommendation; no final commission order appears in the hearing record.
