Case Information
Case 24-G-0447 - Proceeding on Motion of the Commission as to the Rates, Charges, Rules and Regulations of the Corning Natural Gas Corporation for Gas Service.
On July 31, 2024, Corning Natural Gas Corporation (Corning) filed proposed gas tariff schedules designed to increase its annual gas delivery revenues effective for the rate year beginning on June 30, 2025, and ending on June 30, 2026. Corning seeks to increase its gas delivery revenues by approximately $13.66 million (representing a 42.3 percent increase in total revenues). The proposed revenue increase would result in a total monthly bill increase for the average residential heating customer of approximately $59.18 (a 41.9 percent total bill increase).
Corning also proposes gas delivery revenue increases for three subsequent rate years as follows: $0.91 million (a 1.96 percent increase) for the rate year ending June 30, 2027; $0.11 million (a 0.24 percent increase) for the rate year ending June 30, 2028; and $0.38 million (a 0.80 percent increase) for the rate year ending June 30, 2029. Corning indicates that the proposed gas delivery revenue increases are associated with, among other things, increased depreciation expenses and operational and maintenance costs.
