Cedar Park City Council at its Jan. 23 meeting voted to deny a gas rate increase proposed by Atmos Energy Corporation.

Cedar Park residents receive natural gas service from Texas Gas Service Company and Atmos Energy Corporation, according to agenda documents.

Two-minute impact

Atmos Energy filed a statement of intent to change gas rates for certain cities in its Mid-Tex service area with the Railroad Commission of Texas, according to the documents. The proposed effective date was Jan. 20.

Atmos aims to increase its revenue in its Mid-Tex Division by $16.73 million, according to the documents. The proposed rate increase would have resulted in a roughly $7.91 increase in the average residential customer’s bill.


The proposal would have left rates for commercial, industrial and transportation customers unchanged.
