PHOENIX, Dec. 21, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- The Arizona
Corporation Commission approved the transition of natural gas
service in Graham County from
Graham County Utilities Inc. (GCU) to Southwest Gas at its open
meeting Dec. 15.
The transaction is expected to close in early
January.
The Commission's approval follows the October 2020 approval by GCU members of sale of
the GCU gas distribution system to Southwest Gas. GCU determined
selling the system to Southwest Gas would allow the system to be
modernized, and would increase safety, meet regulatory standards
and maintain affordability for GCU customers.
Southwest Gas is committed to providing the new customers in
Graham County with safe, reliable
and affordable natural gas service. The new customers will be
eligible for Southwest Gas' customer assistance programs, including
low income discounts, Customer Owned Yard Line relocations, and
energy efficiency programs. Southwest Gas looks forward to
welcoming the GCU customers in January and is committed to ongoing
communication regarding next steps to ensure a smooth
transition.
