ARKANSAS, USA — Black Hills Energy, which provides natural gas to more than 184,000 Arkansas customers, is seeking a base rate increase with the Arkansas Public Service Commission, seeking to recover $44 million in “necessary capital infrastructure and operational costs required to deliver safe, reliable natural gas service.”
Mark Eyre, vice president of operations for Black Hills Energy in Arkansas, said the investments “not only fulfill our obligation to meet our customers’ growing energy needs but also allow us to meet regulations governing safety and reliability,” according to a Dec. 4 news release.
“In order to maintain the high level of safety and service our customers rely on, the company must ask the Arkansas Public Service Commission to allow the company to recover costs involved with operating a robust natural gas system,” Eyre said.
