Maine Public Utilities Commission to Hold Public Witness Hearing in Bangor Gas Rate Case
August 23, 2021
Hallowell, Maine - The Maine Public Utilities Commission (Commission) will hold a public witness hearing Thursday, August 26, 2021, at 5:30 p.m. at the Hilton Garden Inn, 250 Haskell Road, Bangor, in Ballroom C.
On January 29, 2021, Bangor Natural Gas Company filed a Notice of Intent to file for an increase in its natural gas delivery rates. Bangor Gas intends to request an increase of $2.9 million in its natural gas delivery revenues (an overall 24.2% increase), which would produce a 43.8% increase in monthly delivery rates for the average residential customer.
At the public witness hearing, any member of the public who is not a party to this case will have the opportunity to present testimony or comments to the Commission on the issues in this proceeding. Sworn testimony, given under oath, will become part of the official record of the case, and the Commission can rely on it in making its final decision. Unsworn testimony will not become part of the official case record. Sign language interpreters will be present during the hearing to assist the hearing impaired who wish to testify or monitor the hearing.
All public documents in the case are available on the Commission's Online Case Management System. Please reference Case #2021-00024.
