Fleming, J

People's Gas, Light, and Coke Co. is asking the Illinois Commerce Commission to approve an Alternate Fuel Adjustment (AFA) proposal that pegs natural gas prices to No. 6 oil for large users with fuel-switching capability. The proposal would lower industrial gas rates at the expense of residential users, and is intended to discourage industrial users from switching entirely to alternative fuels. Some users, skeptical of floating rates and the quality of projections, are intervening. (DCK)
