Deferred Gas Charge Dispute

I own a business CONLEY CASTING SUPPLY on Maple Street in Warwick 200 yards from the RI PUC.

This is an unfair charge for customers that utilize competitive options made available through deregulation. This fee should be eliminated.

A client of mine was adversely affected by this policy related to electricity supply. The consumer shouldn’t get dinged from trying to protect the financial interests of their businesses.

the purpose of non-National Grid purchases is to purchase energy at more competitive prices and to avoid this very issue of National Grid needing to have make up charges for their inefficiencies. Should not be done for the energy itself but for only their provided pipes / wires which National Grid must keep in proper condition

This charge is unfair and impairs savings to consumers who want to exercise their deregulated right of choice to switch to a third party gas supplier.

This fundamentally takes away from the idea of deregulation. Customer's like to control their costs. They should not be "fined" for trying to reduce their costs. I have seen many local small businesses unable to make the switch because of these fees, including churches and other non-profits that just want to control their budget.

This is a step backward towards the monopolistic utility industry model of yesteryear. A deliberate attempt to limit competition for large suppliers.

This is unfair and needs to be waived for all RI consumers.

This stifles competition

This deferred gas fee is unfair and (just like it was with electricity) should be waived for all consumers in RI.

should be removed.

Please follow precedent and eliminate this fee for gas customers.

I believe this charge is unwarranted and should be removed.

Very confusing and shady practice by Nationals Grid. I would not have switched if I knew it would cost be $2,000.00. Thank you.

Great Job
