PUBLIC NOTICE OF NEW TARIFF TERMS AND RATES FOR
INTERCONNECTION WITH UNCONVENTIONAL GAS SUPPLIES
NOTICE is hereby given that Hope Gas, Inc. (Hope Gas
or the Company), a public utility, has filed with the
PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION OF WEST
VIRGINIA, revised tariff sheets containing new terms
and conditions for interconnections receiving
unconventional gas supplies.
Hope Gas is proposing to make changes to its tariff to
accommodate unconventional gas producers who
desire to interconnect with Hope Gas’s distribution and
gathering pipelines. Hope Gas will need to blend gas
from the unconventional gas producers to meet tariff
specifications prior to delivery of the gas to customers.
Unconventional gas is becoming more prevalent as a
source of supply, and the Company needs to modify its
tariff to accommodate additional sources of supply.
Hope Gas will recover all costs to interconnect from the
unconventional producers and charge them for gas
blending and operation of the interconnect.
The Company provides resale service to the following
customers: Standard Gas Company, Consumers Gas
Utility Company, Cardinal Natural Gas Company
Northern Division (Lumberport), Mountaineer Gas
Company, Southern Public Service Company, Cardinal
Natural Gas Company – Northern Division (Blacksville),
and Peoples Gas WV LLC. The Company’s proposed
changes to its tariff will not impact its current rates and
charges for natural gas service.

written protest or petition to intervene prior to January
25, 2023 unless otherwise modified by Commission
