Chris Drew advocates for comprehensive tariff review involving Atmos
What happened
On October 13, 2026, Chris Drew supported a comprehensive tariff review involving Atmos. Separately, reports detail that Flower Mound approved a 14% rate increase requested by Atmos, which went into effect on October 1, 2026. This increase was permitted under GRIP legislation, which allows monopoly gas utilities to raise rates based on claimed capital investments, regardless of local municipal intervention.
Why it matters
The call for a tariff review challenges the existing GRIP-based pricing structure used by Atmos. This regulatory action could impact the operational costs and pricing of Atmos Energy, as well as the future revenue streams of Atmos.
