Northwest Natural Gas Company, a subsidiary of Northwest Natural Holding Company, describes a proposed three-year rate plan settlement for its Washington customers. Washington represents about 12% of customers and 8% of revenues, with the rest in Oregon.
The settlement filed with the Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission provides for annual revenue requirement increases of $20.1 million in Year 1 beginning August 1, 2026, $7.7 million in Year 2, and $8.7 million in Year 3. The plan assumes a capital structure of 50% long-term debt and 50% common equity, a 9.5% return on equity, and an overall rate of return rising from 7.15% to 7.22% as the average rate base grows from $328.0 million to $410.7 million.
The settlement covers all but one issue in the case, leaving line extension allowance policy to ongoing regulatory litigation. It remains subject to WUTC review and approval, and the commission may accept the settlement, reject it, or set different terms before new rates take effect.
