SEATTLE — Over the next few months, Puget Sound Energy customers may notice their natural gas bill will be a little higher.
But according to the Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission, those customers don’t need to be told why they’re paying more.
“The Utilities Commission approved the rate hike, but made it illegal for Puget Sound Energy to list that on people’s bills,” said Todd Myers of the conservative think tank Washington Policy Center. “So people will see their rates go up, but they won’t know why, and in fact, the Utilities Commission has prohibited Puget Sound Energy from telling its customers.”
