KANSAS GAS SERVICE, A DIVISION OF ONE GAS, INC. Docket number 16-KGSG-491-RTS Docket type Gas Date filed 02 May 2016 Action date 29 Nov 2016 Commission action Approved In the Matter of the Application of Kansas Gas Service, a Division of ONE Gas, Inc. for Adjustment of its Natural Gas Rates in the State of Kansas. On May 2, 2016, Kansas Gas Service, a Division of ONE Gas, Inc. (KGS) filed an Application to make changes in its rates and charges for natural gas service. KGS requested an increase of $35,446,665. The net rate impact of this request to customers result in a $27,985,168 increase after rebasing the amounts currently collected through the Gas System Reliability Surcharge (GSRS). KGS also requested to establish an annual rate mechanism referred to as a Cost of Service Adjustment (COSA) mechanism that would provide an annual review and adjustment of KGS’s cost of service and actual return on equity; to discontinue its Pension and Other Post- Employment Benefits (OPEB) trackers; to share the savings between customers and shareholders that have resulted from pension expenses having been pre-funded; and new corporate asset depreciation rates. On September 7, 2016, the parties filed their direct testimony. In its direct testimony, Staff recommended an increase of $12.1 million; and CURB recommended an increase of $3.7 million. Both parties opposed KGS’s COSA mechanism and its proposal to share pension expense savings, and Staff also opposed KGS’s request to eliminate the Pension and OBEP trackers. CenterPoint Energy Services, Inc. also filed testimony recommending changes to KGS’s tariffs relating to transportation services but did not take a position on the revenue requirement. On October 3, 2016, the parties met collectively to discuss the possible settlement of issues in this matter. After extensive negotiations, the parties agreed to an increase of $15.5 million.

This request was not limited to any total amount of cost. Additionally, KGS sought permission to retain for shareholders the first $9.49 million of insurance proceeds received by KGS in compensation for the same amount of MGP costs it incurred from 1997-2016. For all insurance recoveries in excess of $9.49 million, KGS sought to retain 40% of the proceeds as an incentive to pursue the recoveries. On September 8, 2017, Staff and the Citizens Utility Ratepayer Board (CURB) filed testimony that opposed KGS request. Staff suggested a framework that would allow KGS to recover 60% of all costs with a return on the remaining balance to be recovered. Staff’s proposal also required KGS to credit 100% of all insurance proceeds against the costs charged to ratepayers. If only 60% of costs were sought for recovery from ratepayers, 60% of insurance proceeds should be credited to customers. On October 12, 2017, the Parties filed a unanimous settlement agreement that provided for KGS to defer a maximum of $15 million in MGP costs to be recovered in a subsequent rate case over 15-years. For rate cases after the first rate case, different amortization periods may apply, but they will result in no less than 40% of the net present value
