TECO Energy's utility subsidiaries, Peoples Gas System and Tampa Electric Company successfully challenge rate case brought by Florida Gas Transmission Company

Client(s) TECO Energy, Inc.

Jones Day represented TECO Energy's utility subsidiaries, Peoples Gas System and Tampa Electric Company, in an NGA Section 4 rate case brought by Florida Gas Transmission Company, LLC (FGT) at FERC. In this rate case, FGT proposed significant rate increases and major changes to the terms and conditions of its services, proposals that were opposed by Peoples Gas System and Tampa Electric and many of FGT's other customers. Following a FERC technical conference, Peoples Gas System and Tampa Electric successfully challenged many of FGT's proposed service changes and FERC rejected those aspects of the pipeline's filing without further proceedings. As a result, the remaining issues in the case were resolved by settlement.
