JEFFERSON CITY, Mo.---
The Missouri Public Service Commission has established the deadline for those wishing to intervene and participate in a case filed by Summit Natural Gas of Missouri Inc. (Summit Natural Gas) for a Natural Gas Rebate Program.

On April 3, 2025, Summit Natural Gas filed an application to extend its Equipment Rebate Program (ERP) Pilot. Summit's application states that the purpose of the ERP Pilot is to promote the installation of high efficiency natural gas equipment within Summit Natural Gas's service territories by offering rebates that are expected to be cost effective. The ERP Pilot also includes water savings measures through its water efficiency kits and stand-alone water efficiency equipment, including low-flow showerheads and faucet aerators. Such equipment will save gas usage where water is heated using a gas hot water heater.

Summit requests that the ERP Pilot be extended until Dec. 31, 2027, in order to allow the Company to continue to offer efficiency savings to its customers and obtain additional experience with the program and evaluation of its performance.

Applications to intervene and participate in this case must be filed no later than April 17, 2025, with the Secretary of the Missouri Public Service Commission, P.O. Box 360, Jefferson City, Missouri 65102-0360, or by using the Commission's Electronic Filing and Information System (EFIS) at www.psc.mo.gov.

Box 2230, Jefferson City, Missouri 65102-2230, telephone (866) 922-2959, email opcservice@opc.mo.gov) or the Public Service Commission Staff (P.O.
