PRC questions NM Gas Company officials about high utility bills
|
As New Mexicans across the state face high bills for heating their houses with natural gas or running gas appliances, the New Mexico Public Regulation Commission asked the state’s largest gas utility to provide some insight into the prices and what the company is doing to help customers. Representatives from New Mexico Gas Company attended the PRC weekly meeting on Wednesday to address the high costs people are experiencing. New Mexico Gas Company Vice President of Engineering, Gas Management and Technical Services Tom Bullard said that various factors are influencing the cost of gas, including winter storms and the war in Ukraine. He said market forces like supply and demand impact the cost of gas. “We’re not a production company or a marketing company,” he said.
