Washington Gas' Amended Application for Replacement of Aging Infrastructure Approved by Virginia State Corporation Commission
WASHINGTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- On November 15, 2012, the Virginia State Corporation Commission issued an Order approving Washington Gas' amended Steps to Advance Virginia's Energy (SAVE) Plan. Under the plan, the company will recover approximately $191.4 million in anticipated expenditures for the replacement of facilities over a five-year period beginning January 1, 2013. The previously authorized plan called for expenditures of $116.5 million.
