approved by the PUC,”
Haynes said.
This will be the sixth refund
made to WTU retail custom-
ers since the summer of 1965.
The fuel rates charged to cus-
tomers have been adjusted
five times since 1985, but the
price of natural gas, WTU’s
main power plant boiler fuel,
has continued to decline.
WTU’s base rates have not
changed since December 1964.
However, on May 19, 1987, the
company filed for an increase
in base rates necessitated by
the completion of the new
coal-fired Oklaunion Power
Station near Vernon. The as-
sured supply of coal under a
long-term contract is expected
to help stabilize WTU’s power
plant fuel costs.
The refund will be made
through one-time credits to
retail customers in December,
subject to approval of the
PUC. The typical residential
