Higher customer gas bills for One Gas subsidiary approved by Kansas regulators

Cost of power from winter storm could be spread out over years

 

Customers of Kansas Gas Service, the subsidiary of Oklahoma-based One Gas will be paying another $5 to $7 more a month under a winter storm cost settlement approved this week by the Kansas Corporation Commission.

Like the controversial OG&E deal that is before the Oklahoma Supreme Court, the Kansas case will depend on the terms Kansas Gas Service can get for the bonds to cover $366 million in storm costs.
