On February 9, 2024, Liberty filed a natural gas rate case with the Missouri Public Service
Commission seeking a net increase in its annual revenues of approximately $13.1 million, with the net
increase being approximately $11.2 million as $1.9 million is already being recovered through the
Infrastructure System Replacement Surcharge (ISRS). The net revenue increase of $11.2 million is an
approximate 32.57% increase. In this case, Liberty is also proposing to consolidate the cost of
service/revenue requirements of its Northeast/West and Southeast Districts.
Liberty provides natural gas service to approximately 52,700 customers in 26 Missouri counties
(Adair, Bates, Butler, Cape Girardeau, Cass, Clark, Dunklin, Henry, Iron, Knox, Lewis, Macon, Marion,
Mississippi, New Madrid, Pemiscot, Pike, Ralls, Ripley, Schuyler, Scotland, Scott, St. Clair, Stoddard,
Wayne and Worth).
