No. GR-2011-0055
Issue Date: February 15, 2013 Effective Date: February 15, 2013
On February 6, 2013[1], the Commission set a prehearing conference for February 19. On February 13, Staff, Laclede Gas Company (“Laclede”) and the Office of the Public Counsel (“OPC”) filed a Request to Cancel Prehearing Conference and Procedural Filing Date.
The parties explain that it is premature to convene a prehearing conference due to pending Laclede cases for prior ACA periods. This case cannot be properly concluded until those prior cases are concluded, according to the parties.
The parties further state that Laclede agreed with Staff’s recommendations under the heading Natural Gas Supply Request for Proposal (RFP) Process, Items 1, 2 and 3 (See Sections II.A.1, II.A.2, and IIA.3 of Staff’s Recommendation and Laclede’s Response). Laclede states that it commits to implement these three Staff recommendations prior to its RFP process in 2013 for gas supply for the 2013-2014 period.
The Commission took up the motion unopposed on February 14, found it reasonable, and granted the motion. This order further clarifies its February 14 order.
THE COMMISSION ORDERS THAT:
1. The prehearing conference is canceled, and the parties are no longer required to file a procedural schedule.
2. Laclede Gas Company shall implement the three Staff recommendations listed above prior to its RFP process in 2013 for gas supply for the 2013-2014 period.
3. This order shall become effective immediately upon issuance.
