Order Entered: . This investigation is opened to provide Sentra an opportunity to present evidence to demonstrate: (a) that its cost of gas from its affiliate is no greater than market as required by KRS 278.2207(1)(b); (b) that the PGA component of Sentra's rates and the wholesale rates charged to Sentra are just and reasonable as required by KRS 278.274 for natural gas purchased from an affiliate; (c) why the PGA component of Sentra's rates should not be reduced to market with a corresponding reduction to the cost of gas sold to Sentra under KRS 278.274; and (d) why Sentra's PGA clause should not be revised to provide a better match of its gas cost and its gas cost revenue. 2. Sentra and its affiliate supplier, MHP, shall be parties to this case. 3. Sentra shall collect the PGA component of its rates subject to refund effective for bills rendered after the date of this Order until further Commission Order. 4. The procedural schedule set forth in Appendix A shall be followed. 5. Sentra and MHP shall individually or jointly file, within 14 days of the date of this Order, responses to the requests for information attached hereto as Appendix B, along with any other information relevant to Sentra's cost of gas purchased from MHP.
