Withdrawal of Application for the Conservation Alliance Plan: On December 12, 2005, Cascade Natural Gas Corporation withdrew its application for the Conservation Alliance Plan filed on October 31, 2005 at the Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission (WUTC). The Conservation Alliance Plan “decouples” recovery of the cost of providing service from the volume of natural gas that customers use. After considering comments of interested parties, including the WUTC staff, the Company has determined that the best course of action going forward is to pursue the Conservation Alliance Plan in conjunction with a general rate case.
