The ■ Public Utilities Comnussion
Friday issued a final order which
allows Texas Power and laght Co. to
refund money which was over-
collected from customers un^er the
previous fixed charge for fuel.
* .The rtlfund will apply to TP&L
customers in Hopkins County.
The order allows TP&L, Texas
Electric Service Co. and Dallas
Power and Light to refund $140.3
million, the amount overcollected
through Jan. 31.
Ike Harper, manager of TP&L
Sulphur Springs district, said the
average residential customer will
receive a refund of $34.
Harper explained that TP&L
residential customers will receive a
credit on their May bills, based on
their kilowatt-hour use multiplied
by an agreed-upon refund factor.
The refund is being made in ac-
cordance with the emergency fuel
rule recently adopted by the PUC.
A new, lower schedule for fuel
charges, requested by the company-
early this year, was approved by the
PUC in February. The lower fuel
rates went into effect in March for
TP&L and other divisions of Texas
Utilities Electric Co.
The new fuel rate is 2.47 cents per
kilowatt-hour, compared to the old
rate of 2.70 cents
The new charges are expected to
save customers about 5-percent on
their bills Harper said the savings ?,
have been made possible by the
declining cost of natural gas
"The decreased cost of natural gas
has allowed us to aggressively seek
the less expensive gas fuel," he said.
Gas is burned to make slightly
more than half the electricity used by-
customers.
The refund applies to the more than
2 million customers of TP&L, DP&L,
and TESCO. The companies serve
about one-third of the population of
Texas.
