If the request is approved by the commission, natural gas prices for the company’s Oregon customers could decrease by 1.2% effective 1 November 2011.
The company has also made three administrative filings with OPUC related to demand side management, intervener funding and commission fees.
If OPUC approves all filings including the PGA request, a residential customer using an average 48 therms a month could expect the bill to decrease by $0.56, or 0.9%, for a revised monthly bill of $61.60.
Other customer groups could also expect a price decrease in a similar range, the company said.
Avista files PGAs each year to balance the cost of wholesale natural gas purchased by the company to serve customers with the amount included in rates.
Avista is engaged in the production, transmission and distribution of energy as well as other energy-related businesses.
