Decision and Order
Further to the Commission's Decision and Order No. P.990804-2A, Michael (Mike) Doyle, Branch Manger of Superior Propane Inc. ("Superior") filed with the Island Regulatory and Appeals Commission (the "Commission") on 12 October 1999 an application requesting permission to increase the price of propane in Superior’s pricing categories by 3.6 cents per litre. This application was supported by a declaration of Mike Doyle, Branch Manager, Charlottetown and a covering letter which indicated that propane acquisition costs have increased by a total of 3.6 cents per litre since Superior’s prices were last approved.
This Declaration was supported by a Schedule entitled "Sarnia-Amoco Wholesale Propane Posted Price", which Schedule indicated that the Company had experienced a net increase of 3.6 cents per litre since prices were last adjusted.
The Commission considered this application and supporting documentation this date, and approved the requested increases, effective 12:01 a.m., Saturday, 16 October 1999.
THE COMMISSION THEREFORE ORDERS that the propane prices to be charged by Superior Propane Inc., effective 12:01 a.m., Saturday, the 16th day of October 1999, be in accordance with Appendix "A" to this Order, and that the authorized prices appear on all invoices accompanying propane deliveries and remain in effect until otherwise ordered by the Commission.
AND THE COMMISSION FURTHER ORDERS that a copy of the invoice for product delivery covering the next delivery of propane to Superior following the effective date of the prices approved by this Order be submitted to the Commission on or before 1 November 1999.
AND THE COMMISSION FURTHER ORDERS that a document entitled "Sarnia-Amoco Wholesale Propane Posted Price of Propane" (which similar schedule has been filed in support of all previous applications for price changes by Superior Propane Inc.) containing posted prices to the end of the previous month, be submitted to the Commission by the 15th of every second month, whether or not an application for pricing adjustments is submitted (next filing due 15 November 1999).
