Important Notices

Bangor Gas Company notice to customers:

On March 22, 2007 Bangor Gas Company LLC filed a petition with the Maine Public Utilities Commission for approval of a proposed reorganization involving the sale of Sempra Energy's stock in Penobscot Natural Gas, Inc. to Energy West, Incorporated, pursuant to 35-A M.R.S.A. § 708. Bangor Gas is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Penobscot Natural Gas, which in turn is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sempra Energy. The MPUC has assigned the case Docket No. 2007-151. On May 7, 2007 the Public Advocate filed a Petition to Intervene. To approve this reorganization, the Commission must determine that it is consistent with the interests of Bangor Gas' ratepayers and investors.

Bangor Gas is currently operating under a 10-year rate plan due to expire in the 4th quarter of 2009. The rate plan allows the company to remain competitive with alternative fuels while placing a limit on the amount of profit the company can earn. As part of the reorganization, Bangor Gas has requested that the Commission extend the rate plan for an additional three years, to the 4th quarter of 2012, to ensure the mechanism by which Bangor Gas' rates and charges are set remains unchanged. Customers of Bangor Gas should see no changes to their natural gas service or their billing under this proposal.

If you have any questions about the reorganization or the rate plan, please feel free to contact Joseph Cote, General Manager, at 207-941-9595.

You may request that your name be added to the mailing list as an interested person to receive notice of hearings and orders. Please indicate Docket No. 2007-151 on any correspondence. You may also contact the Office of the Public Advocate at 207-287-2445 or 112 State House Station, Augusta, Maine 04333 for assistance.

To participate fully in the Commission's proceeding, you must submit a petition to intervene by June 4, 2007 in writing to: Ms. Karen Geraghty, Administrative Director, Maine Public Utilities Commission, 18 State House Station, Augusta, ME 04333-0018. Your petition must state the manner in which you are affected by this proceeding.
