Description
In this case we are asked to find unreasonable a rate schedule for the retail sale of natural gas proposed by the Gas Service Company and approved by the Kansas Corporation Commission. We are unable to so find. The issues in this case were first raised on December 9, 1976, when the Company filed an application for a rate increase with the KCC. That application was assigned Docket No. 110,038-U. Appellant Midwest Gas Users Association intervened in that proceeding. Midwest is an association, many of whose members are customers of the Company who are assigned to an ""interruptible"" status. When total demand on the Company's system exceeds its capacity, service to interruptible customers may be curtailed or cut off. Interruptible customers who wish to continue operations during foreseeable periods when their gas supply is cut off necessarily have available alternative sources of fuel and the physical capacity to utilize such alternatives. Appellant Seymour Foods, Inc., is an industrial ""interruptible"" customer who separately intervened, but who joined Midwest in all previous proceedings and in this court. We thus have no issue as to Midwest's standing, and all references to ""Midwest"" are equally applicable to Seymour.
