2009 North Carolina Code
Chapter 62 - Public Utilities.
§ 62-36B. Regulation of natural gas service agreements.
§ 62‑36B. Regulation of natural gas service agreements.
Whenever the Commission, after notice and hearing, finds that additional natural gas service agreements (including "backhaul" agreements) with interstate or intrastate pipelines will provide increased competition in North Carolina's natural gas industry and (i) will likely result in lower costs to consumers without substantially increasing the risks of service interruptions to customers, or (ii) will substantially reduce the risks of service interruptions without unduly increasing costs to consumers, the Commission may enter and serve an order directing the franchised natural gas local distribution company to negotiate in good faith to enter into such service agreements within a reasonable time. In considering costs to consumers under this section, the Commission may consider both short‑term and long‑term costs. (1989 (Reg. Sess., 1990), c. 962, s. 5.)
