Summary
PURA adopted staff—s annual review of purchase gas adjustment clause filings for Connecticut—s three local distribution companies, finding calculations accurate and approving deferred charges and credits for the Sept. 2024—Aug. 2025 reconciliation period; no written exceptions were filed.
The Public Utilities Regulatory Authority on April 22 adopted its annual review of purchase gas adjustment (PGA) clause filings submitted by Connecticut Natural Gas (CNG), Southern Connecticut Gas (Southern), and Yankee Gas for the period Sept. 2024 through Aug. 2025.
Authority staff Rich Skarzinski summarized the review, saying the authority compared customer charges during the PGA period with amounts paid by the LDCs and verified invoice-level consistency. He reported staff—s determinations that the three utilities— calculations were accurate and recommended adoption.
Skarzinski provided the reconciliations the authority approved: CNG showed a total deferred gas cost credit of $11,105,379 (deferred-factor credit 0.381—¢ per 100 cubic feet); Southern showed a total deferred gas cost credit of $10,609,146 (3.86—¢/CCF); Yankee showed a shortfall for firm customers of $11,270,492 (deferred-factor charge 2.95—¢/CCF) and for seasonal customers a credit of $361,431 (8.25—¢/CCF). Skarzinski said no written exceptions were filed following the authority—s proposed final decision.
Commissioners moved, seconded and then adopted the staff-recommended PGA reconciliations by unanimous roll call. Several commissioners and the chair thanked Mr. Skarzinski and his team for detailed, invoice-level analysis that underpins the reconciliations.
The adopted decision directs the LDCs to implement any required deferred-factor surcharges or credits during the subsequent reconciliation period, consistent with state statute and PURA practice.
