Texas Gas Service has received regulatory approval to increase natural gas rates for its El Paso-area customers, just as residents are paying substantially higher winter gas bills due to increased natural gas prices and cold temperatures. The Texas Railroad Commission on Jan. 19 approved a substantial increase in rates, which utility officials have said is needed to help pay for system improvements and other costs incurred by the company since 2016. The good news is the increase for residential customers is lower than the Austin-based utility requested, but still is a large one.
