Cascade Aims for Divident Payouts

Fortnightly Magazine - October 1 1996

The Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission (UTC) has approved a settlement agreement allowing Cascade Natural Gas Corp. (CNG) to increase its rates by $3.8 million a year starting August 1, 1996.

CNG will also hike its monthly service charge to residential, commercial, and core industrial customers by $1 on August 1, 1997, and by another $1 on August 1, 1998. The utility says the revenue increase would be offset by concurrent decreases in rates for transportation customers. CNG has promised not to pursue another rate increase for three years; the new rates will contribute about $0.14 per share annually. t
