The Missouri Public Service Commission has approved an agreement reached by Spire Missouri, Inc. (Spire Missouri) and the Staff of the Missouri Public Service Commission which changes the infrastructure system replacement surcharge (ISRS) for Spire West customers. The Office of the Public Counsel did not oppose the agreement. The ISRS first appeared on Spire West customer bills in April 2004.

The ISRS adjustment reflects infrastructure replacement investments made by the natural gas company during the period of January 1, 2022 through June 30, 2022. These costs for natural gas pipeline replacements and relocations are not currently included in Spire Missouri’s rates.

The current ISRS for residential customers of Spire West is $0.74 a month. As a result of this case, the ISRS will be adjusted and residential customers will pay $1.61 a month. Spire seeks to have the change take effect on October 21, 2022.

Spire West provides natural gas service to approximately 527,200 customers in 29 Missouri counties, including Saline, Carroll, Howard, Johnson, Lafayette, and Pettis in the KMMO listening area.
