Catch Title:
Natural
gas storage.

Subject:
Natural gas
utilities' sale of excess stored gas.

Summary/Major Elements:

Current law (W.S. 37-3-201 through 205) provides
that natural gas utilities may not include in their rate base, for purposes of
calculating an approved rate tariff for Wyoming customers, any charge for
stored gas in excess of 2.75 times the utility's 3-year average sold gas volume.
Excess stored gas is subject to special rate provisions.

W.S. 37-3-204 provides for a rate rebate when
certain excess stored gas is sold by the utility to a person other than a
customer whose rates are approved by the Public Service Commission.

This act repeals W.S. 37-3-204, thereby allowing
a natural gas utility to sell its excess stored gas outside of Wyoming without rate penalty.
