Rate Schedules & Tariff Analysis
Summit C&I bills are dominated by the volumetric Gas Supply Rate (commodity pass-through) plus the Delivery/Service charge, with a fixed Customer Charge and several riders. Because metering is monthly only, there is no demand or interval component the way an electric C&I rate would have; cost management focuses on total CCF consumption and supply procurement. Large industrial customers able to procure their own gas should evaluate Transportation Service to unbundle the commodity from delivery.
Summit Utilities Arkansas Rate Schedule List
| Schedule | Applicability |
|---|---|
| Small Commercial / Small General Service | Lower-volume commercial firm gas sales. |
| Large Commercial / Large General Service | Higher-volume commercial firm gas sales. |
| Large Volume Firm Service | Large industrial firm gas. |
| Transportation Service | Industrial delivery-only (customer-supplied gas). |
Summit Utilities Arkansas Rate Features & TOU Details
- Volumetric commodity (GSR) is the largest variable cost and is a straight pass-through

- Weather Normalization Adjustment applies Nov 1-Apr 30 to dampen seasonal swings

Summit Utilities Arkansas Data Access FAQ
Can I pull my company's gas usage data into an energy-management platform automatically?▾
No. Summit Utilities Arkansas does not offer Green Button Connect, a public API, or aggregator partnerships. Usage is monthly only (ERT metering) and must be pulled manually from the portal as PDFs or requested as a custom data extract by calling 800-992-7552.
How can a consultant or energy manager access our account data?▾
Have an authorized signer provide a written authorization letter naming the consultant and data scope, then the consultant contacts Summit at 800-992-7552. Energy-efficiency consultants can also access facility usage through the Commercial & Industrial Solutions Program (CLEAResult). The Agency Assist portal is reserved for qualified non-profit/government agencies.
Does Summit provide interval (hourly/daily) gas data for load analysis?▾
No. Summit uses ERT metering that produces one read per meter per month, so only monthly CCF totals are available. There is no 15-minute, hourly, or daily interval data.
What rate should a large industrial gas customer be on, and can we buy our own gas?▾
Large industrial sites should evaluate Large Volume Firm Service or Transportation Service. Under Transportation Service the customer procures gas from a competitive marketer and pays Summit only for delivery, removing the Gas Supply Rate commodity from the Summit bill. Confirm eligibility and per-CCF rates in the APSC tariff (Co. #3932) or with a Commercial Account Manager.
How much did C&I rates change recently?▾
The APSC approved a settlement in November 2024 (effective December 2024) that raised base rates by roughly 23% overall after ~$300M of infrastructure investment; a typical small-commercial customer using about 220 CCF/month was estimated to see roughly a $28/month increase. Winter gas-cost (GSR) rates were separately lowered.
