REFUNDS TO NIPSCO WILL REDUCE COST OF GAS TO CUSTOMERS “Refunds totaling $14,775,725 from the Natural Gas Pipeline Company of America and the Panhandle Eastern Pipe Line Company. two of Northern Indiana Public Service Company’s five pipeline suppliers, will reduce the cost of gas to NIPSCO customers this fall.” said Edmund A. Schroer, NIPSCO president and chief executive officer. The utility filed a petition with the Public Service Commission of Indiana recently requesting a decrease in the cost of gas to customers in an amount equal to the refunds it received from the pipeline companies. This decrease will reduce rates presently effective for the utility's 481.000 residential, commercial and industrial customers. Subject to the approval of the Commission, it is anticipated that the decrease will be effective in mid-October. "If the new rate schedules are approved by the Public Service Commission as requested.” said the utility chief executive officer, "the average residential customer using gas for home heating will be paying 84 cents per month or approximately $10.13 per year less than he would have been paying prior to the downward rate revision. “NIPSCO residential customers using gas for household purposes other than home heating will pay 20 cents per month or approximately $2.41 per year less for this service under the new schedules,” Mr Schroer said. The latest action of the utility is in accordance with an order of the Public Service Commission of Indiana. issued December 11, 1970. authorizing gas distribution comThe Johnson ENERGY CONVERTER.
