PUC approves AmeriGas (Bi-State Propane) margin-rate filing for prior fiscal year
Summary
The commission granted AmeriGas Propane LP (doing business as Bi-State Propane) approval of margin rates charged in the preceding fiscal year after staff review recommended granting the application.
The Public Utilities Commission of Nevada granted AmeriGas Propane LP — doing business as Bi-State Propane — approval of its margin rates for the preceding fiscal year following a staff recommendation to grant the application.
Hearing Officer Crano described Staff’s review, which compared rates charged to captive customers (who face barriers to switching fuel sources) and noncaptive customers (who can feasibly change suppliers or fuel). Staff reported that the average margin paid by captive customers was lower than that paid by noncaptive customers and lower than margin rates deemed just and reasonable in a prior docket, citing decreased fuel costs and AmeriGas’s average markup.
On that basis, staff recommended the commission grant the application. Chair Haley Williamson moved to grant the application as proposed by the hearing officer; the motion was seconded and carried on a voice vote with Commissioners Williamson, Brown and Cordova voting aye. The commission instructed staff to issue the appropriate order.
