INFRASTRUCTURE REPLACEMENT AND EXPANSION PROGRAM (IREP)

On July 31, 2025, Mountaineer made a filing with the PSC to increase the IREP rates for all customer classes. Mountaineer plans to spend $77 million in 2026 for infrastructure improvements, with the majority to replace aging bare-steel distribution mains.

This investment ensures Mountaineer continues to provide safe, reliable service to its customers. The proposed increase is $0.258 per Mcf for residential customers and $0.147 per Mcf for general service customers.

Based on average annual usage of 72 Mcf for a residential customer, the annual increase would be $18.60, or $1.55 per month on average. The proposed changes in rates will become effective January 1, 2026, unless otherwise ordered by the PSC.
