MOUNTAINEER GAS COMPANY
Infrastructure Replacement and Expansion Program
Filing for 2026

NOTICE OF FILING AND HEARING
On July 31, 2025, Mountaineer Gas Company (Mountaineer) filed its annual Application for approval of an Infrastructure Replacement and Expansion Program for 2026 (2026 IREP) with revised IREP rates for 2026, pursuant to W.Va. Code Â§ 24-2-1k, which authorizes the Public Service Commission of West Virginia to approve cost recovery of projects to replace, upgrade and expand natural gas utility infrastructure that are deemed to be just and reasonable and in the public interest.

In its Application, Mountaineer forecasts capital investment for calendar year 2026 of $77,000,000 as part of its multi-year plan. The 2026 IREP covers several categories of plant asset replacements and improvements, including mains, service lines, measurement and regulator stations, and house regulators. These plant investments are proposed to be made in Mountaineer service territories throughout the State. These investments are identified in the Application, which is on file and available for public inspection at the Commission's offices at 201 Brooks Street, Charleston, West Virginia and which may be viewed on the Commission's website, www.psc.state.wv.us.

Mountaineer proposes to increase IREP revenues by approximately $5,239,000 for IREP investments made from 2023 to 2026 through an increased IREP rate component to be effective on January 1, 2026, within the fixed or volumetric base rate component of its rates, depending on the applicable rate schedule under which service is rendered. Mountaineer projects that if the program and IREP rate increase are approved as requested, the average monthly bill for its various classes of customers will be changed on January 1, 2026 as shown below:
