The Alabama Public Service Commission ruled on Spire Alabama's Rate Stabilization and Equalization framework around September 1, 2026, setting the utility's allowed return on equity at 9.4 percent instead of the 10.5 percent Spire had requested, and shortening the framework's term from the requested 5 years to 2 years. The commission also approved a fixed monthly customer charge increase of 2.50 dollars starting October 1, 2026 and another 2.50 dollars starting October 1, 2027, which it describes as revenue neutral overall because usage based rates will fall to offset it.
What it means for your bill: Spire Alabama's fixed monthly charge is rising by 2.50 dollars in October 2026 and another 2.50 dollars in October 2027, which the commission says will be offset by lower usage based rates so the change is revenue neutral overall.
