Oil price decrees hit

company said.
The additional Increase proposed
by OGAE stems from the company's
dispute with Tenneco Inc. over an
increase in the price of natural gas
that Tenneco sells to the Oklahoma
utility
OGAE is refusing to pay the high-
er price for the gas and has taken
the mailer to Oklahoma County Dis-
trict Court. But OGAE officials said
if they lose the case, the company
will be hit with an immediately-pay-
able bill for up to $13 million
To avert a sudden major payout,
OGAE wanted to charge customers
to reflect the higher gas rates Ten-
neco is billing the utility If OGAE
eventually wins the case, company
officials had proposed to refund cus-
tomer* the amount they paid in by
crediting the excess charges to
ratepayers.

Audits of sdditions) companies
and post-1976 transactions are to
begin in 1980.
Most ot the "notices ot probable
violation" have been challenged by
the refiners, who argue that the reg-
ulations were unclear and that the
Energy Department itself has mis-
interpreted them.
The notices generally have not
charged deliberate violations. In-
stead, the disputes have centered on
interpretation of rules, bookkeeping
and the department's practice of es-
timating violations over a pro-
longed period of time from actual
audits covering a much shorter
time span
Some of the alleged violations
have been settled by "consent or-
ders" in which the companies did
not admit violations but agreed to
refund or forego disputed price in-
petrdleum transactions from 1973 cr**s*» anyway.

OG&E seeking rate
hike of S93 million
The state corporation commission
will be asked this week to approve a
request for a rate hike of at least
$93 million, an Oklahoma Gas and
Electric Co. official says.
The recent "extremely disap-
pointing" rate Increasaof $38 1 mil-
lion granted by the commission has
forced the company to slow con-
struction of a new coal-burning
plant in Muskogee and "release"
most outside eleictrical contrac-
tors. said James Harlow Jr., OGAE
president and chief executive offi-
cer.
r Less than two months ago. the
commission approved a $38.1 mil-
lion hike, far short of the $93 million
sought by OGAE a year ago That in-
crease began showing up on custom-
er bills Dec 5.
Another rate increase is needed
quickly to head off a possible de-
cline in the utility's bond rating, the

so the consent orders have resorted
to alternatives, such as temporary
rollbacks of gasoline or fuel oil pric
es or payments to the federal tress

In other cases, orders have n
quired the companies to crew pff
their books various cost items that
otherwise could be used to justify
future price increases, either as a
preventive measure or to coun-
teract earlier overcharges. „
The Consumer Energy Council
contended that these remedies
would not really protect the public
from overcharges but would. in,

overcharges.

WASHINGTON (AP) - The Con-

said today it was filing a petition
with the Department of Energy,
challenging some $630 million
worth of agreementsdn which the
department and majoA refiners set-

The council, a coalition of citizen
groups, said it thinks the “consent
decrees ’ fail to compensate con-
sumers adequately for alleged over-
charges by the companies on petro-
leum products.
The organization proposed, as one
possible improvement, that the En-
ergy Department create a fund us-
ing part of the alleged violation

tered by a panel or corporation of
citizen representatives.
