Summit Utilities, the Arkansas-based company that has some customers in Oklahoma, finds itself back in court over billing problems that the Arkansas Public Service Commission cleared in August.
In the new legal fight, Summit was sued by a physician who accused the utility of “price gouging.” The suit was filed after the Public Service Commission finished an investigation into thousands of complaints about its billing practices, such as cutting off service for non-payment and late fees to delinquent bills.
Summit, of Centennial, Colorado, has about 425,000 business and residential gas accounts in Arkansas after buying assets of CenterPoint Energy for $2.15 billion in January 2022.
