SALT LAKE CITY -- The Public Service Commission says it hopes to decide within the next two weeks if Questar can give $50 million back to Utahns. It would mean May's bill would have a $40 or $45 credit per customer.
Regulators say they are intrigued by Questar's request for the rebate.
Roger Ball with the Utah Ratepayers Association says it's quite a creative idea.
"I think it's an excellent and innovative idea by Questar Gas Company to return ratepayers money to them," he said.
"It gets ratepayers' money back to them quickly, and it also gives a positive public relations spin to Questar Gas Company," he said.
Usually Questar asks for a rate decrease when natural gas prices go down. The company's last rebate was in 1995.
Questar spokesman Chad Jones spoke with Grant and Amanda on Utah's Morning News. To hear that interview, play the audio on this page.
