Enbridge Gas Utah asked the Utah Public Service Commission on Nov. 20, 2025, to approve an interim adjustment to its infrastructure rate‑tracker that would increase annual revenues by $2,398,474.

Tyson Louder, a regulatory analyst for Enbridge, testified that the company’s request covers replacement projects placed in service through Oct. 31, 2025. "The company is requesting $2,398,474 in annual revenue related to this investment," Louder said, adding that for a typical customer using 70 decatherms a year the change would amount to about $1.12 annually and, when divided by 12 months, roughly "0.093¢ per month." Louder said the requested interim rates would be effective Dec. 1, 2025, but would remain in place only until new base rates take effect on Jan. 1, 2026, in the pending general rate case.

The Utah Division of Public Utilities also recommended interim approval. "The division recommends the commission approve the proposed rates in this infrastructure rate adjustment as requested by Enbridge on an interim basis with an effective date of 12/01/2025," said Eric Orton, a utility technical consultant for the Division, who noted the Division will complete an audit and "recommend any imprudently incurred costs be deducted" if issues are found.

Commission staff admitted the company's application and accompanying exhibits (EGU Ex. 1.1–1.6) into the record after the company moved for their admission and no party objected. The Division's written comments filed on Nov. 12, 2025, were likewise admitted without objection.

During questioning, Presiding Officer John Delaney pressed the Division about the timeline for its review. Delaney asked whether the period between the scheduling order and the deadline for initial comments was "overly truncated." Orton said the timeline "was not overly truncated, but it was truncated," explaining the Division compressed its schedule to allow the commission time for an order before the holidays. "So, yes, it was rushed," he said, but added the Division believed it had enough time to perform an adequate review and did not intend to set a precedent for shortened review periods.

No party presented opposition testimony in the hearing, and counsel for the parties had no additional questions for the witnesses. The Division emphasized that its interim recommendation is subject to its forthcoming audit; if the audit identifies imprudent costs, the Division will recommend adjustments to the commission.

The commission did not announce a final decision on the application during the hearing. The proceeding record was closed following routine wrap-up, and Presiding Officer Delaney adjourned the virtual hearing.

What happens next: Because the Division recommended interim approval and the company requested the rates become effective Dec. 1, 2025, the commission may enter an interim order consistent with those recommendations; any final revenue effects will be resolved in the pending general rate case taking effect Jan. 1, 2026, or through the Division's audit and subsequent filings.
