TECO RATE INCREASE: The state Public Service Commission has approved a smaller-than-requested interim rate hike for Peoples Gas System, the natural gas unit of TECO Energy Inc. Peoples Gas had originally asked for a temporary 1.6 percent rate hike for residential customers ahead of an additional hike next year that would result in a double-digit permanent increase for residential customers. But citing TECO's ability to cope with a smaller rate hike with proceeds from wholesale gas sales, the PSC granted a smaller 0.6 percent interim rate hike that raises the bill of a typical household using 20 therms of natural gas per month by 17 cents to $27.34, effective in about a month. The PSC will hold a public hearing on the proposed permanent rate hike on Sept. 24 at noon in the Lake Forest Ballroom of the Doubletree Hotel on West Shore Boulevard in Tampa.
