Residential customers will be paying less for natural gas, thanks to a successful legal action brought by Lewis & Clark’s Green Energy Institute (GEI) on behalf of the Coalition of Communities of Color, the Oregon Environmental Council, Climate Solutions and other nonprofits. In addition to curbing the proposed rate increases, GEI is challenging how the gas utility uses ratepayer money to fund lobbying efforts and to subsidize growth that does not align with state climate change legislation.
