The annual revenue increase reflects the increase to base rates and the proposed recovery of Rate Case expenses. The proposed filing would also allow the Company the opportunity to earn a 10.50% return on equity and an 8.14% return on rate base. The Company requests that the change in rates proposed in this filing become effective on July 27, 2017. Atmos Energy Corporation 1555 Blake Street, Suite 400 Denver, Colorado 80202 Phone 303-831-5667 Jennifer Ries, Vice President Rates & Regu/atmy Affairs, Colorado/Kansas The proposed change in base rates will be made through a General Rate Schedule Adjustment Rider ("GRSA") to the base rates listed on the Company's general rate schedules (including facilities charge, distribution system charge, and transportation service fees) and will affect residential, commercial, irrigation and transportation customers. The base rate portion of the GRSA will be 8.52%. Furthermore, the change in base rates will address increased O&M and decreased depreciation expense, which includes increases in labor and benefits, bad debt and other increases in addition to a higher return on equity. The Company is proposing to recover rate case expenses incurred in this docket through a GRSA over a period of one year. The GRSA increase includes rate case expenses of 1.19%. If approved, the tariffs would be applied to complete billing cycles that commence on or after the effective date of the filing. The proposed change in base rates will provide the Company with a means to recover the increased cost of investing in the Company's gas distribution system. The Company has invested more than $20. 7 million in its natural gas delivery system since the last filed cost of service increase based on a historic test year ending March 31, 2017. Additionally, the Company's proposal includes an extension of the System Safety and Integrity Rider ("SSIR") which will allow the Company to recover the costs associated with various pipeline safety and integrity projects. The Company also proposes to consolidate its four GCA divisions into two GCA divisions. The following table summarizes the impact on the Company's various classes of customers by region, showing average monthly bill at present and proposed rates: 2 Atmos Energy Corporation 1555 Blake Street, Suite 400 Denver, Colorado 80202 Phone 303-831-5667 Jennifer Ries, Vice President Rates & Regulatory Affairs, Colorado/Kansas Average Monthly Bill - Average Monthly Bill- Region Percentage Change Present Rates Proposed Rates Northeast: Residential $50.53 $52.44 3.8% Commercial $226.13 $231.68 2.5% Irrigation $153.66 $159.10 3.5% Transportation $801.92 $870.21 8.5% Northwest/Central: Residential $64.15 $66.35 3.4% Commercial $293.70 $300.19 2.2% Transportation Southeast: Residential $46.67 $48.56 4.0% Commercial $152.39 $156.94 3.0% Irrigation $304.30 $312.34 2.6% Transportation $302.53 $328.30 8.5% Southwest: Residential $45.32 $47.36 4.5% Commercial $178.09 $183.73 3.2% Transportation $1,767.94 $1,918.49 8.5% Atmos Energy has filed the testimony and exhibits of the following Company representatives in support of the rate increase and tariff changes requested by the Company in this filing: Ms. Jennifer G.

    For Immediate Release: March 30, 2016 AGA Media Contact: Jennifer O’Shea [email protected] (202) 824-7023 Natural Gas Utilities Launch New EPA Program to Reduce Emissions Washington, D.C. – Natural gas utilities are working to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. 33 natural gas utilities today launched the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Natural Gas STAR Methane Challenge Program whereby oil and gas companies can make and track commitments to reduce emissions and showcase their efforts to improve air quality and capture and monetize this valuable energy resource. The companies, which represent 66% of the natural gas customers served in the United States, are Founding Partners of the program and joined EPA’s Acting Assistant Administrator for the Office of Air and Radiation Janet McCabe at an event during the Global Methane Forum being held in Washington, DC to kick off the Challenge. AGA Chairman Ralph LaRossa, President and Chief Operating Officer of Public Service Electric & Gas Co. in New Jersey, spoke at the event saying, “For more than two decades, natural gas utilities have worked productively with EPA to share best practices, helping to improve distribution operations and reduce emissions. EPA has recognized the success of our voluntary efforts by continuing to address emissions from distribution through voluntary actions rather than regulatory mandates. We look forward to working with EPA and our members on this ambitious voluntary program.” The American Gas Association and many its members were founders of the original Natural Gas STAR program in 1993. According to the EPA, the 50 AGA member companies participating in the Natural Gas STAR program reduced emissions by 0.8 billion cubic feet in 2013 and a total of 46.2 billion cubic feet since 1993.

  • Mobile Apps Provide the Best Customer Experience Among Mobile Options Offered by Utility Companies, J.D. Power Finds SRP Achie
    Mobile Apps Provide the Best Customer Experience among Mobile Options offered by Utility Companies, J.D. Power Finds SRP Achieves the Highest Satisfaction Score with Utility Websites COSTA MESA, Calif.: 10 Mar. 2017 — As utility companies increasingly offer mobile apps, customers are finding that the digital experience with those apps is more satisfying on a smartphone than with other mobile options such as responsive design or dedicated mobile sites, according to the J.D. Power 2017 Utility Website Evaluation Study,SM released today. The study, now in its sixth year, is based on a combined ranKing of evaluations collected across mobile websites/apps and desKtops/laptops/tablets for electric, gas and/or water utilities across the country. The study explores how easy it is to use a utility’s website by examining 16 tasks based on the type of utility, including maKing a payment; viewing consumption history; reviewing account information; researching energy saving information; updating service; logging into your account; viewing and reporting outages; and locating water quality reports. The study finds that among the three types of mobile channels utilities offer, satisfaction is highest for mobile apps, which score 415 points on a 500-point scale. By comparison, responsive websites—those where the web content adjusts to various screen sizes—score 409 points, and dedicated mobile websites score 403 points. Overall satisfaction with the mobile experience continues to lag the desKtop experience, which averages 422. “While use of mobile apps from utility companies is still relatively low, usage is clearly on the rise, reflecting the increasingly mobile nature in which customers interact with their utility,” said Andrew Heath, senior director of the utility and infrastructure practice at J.D.
