ITEM 8.01 OTHER EVENTS

On March 29, 2012, the Public Service Commission of Maryland issued an order in response to the petition for rehearing and clarification filed by Washington Gas Light Company (Washington Gas), a subsidiary of WGL Holdings, Inc. (WGL Holdings) in Washington Gas’ 2011 base rate case. Based on the record and recommendations of the Commissions’ technical staff and the Office of People’s Counsel, the Commission:

 

  (i) granted an additional revenue increase of $697,646 related to interest synchronization, increasing the overall revenue increase granted to Washington Gas in the case to $9,105,774;

 

  (ii) denied Washington Gas’ request for an adjustment related to other tax adjustments, which would have increased the revenue increase by an additional $2,439,625;

 

  (iii) denied recovery of the costs to initiate the outsourcing agreement with Accenture LLC in 2007; and

 

  (iv) directed Washington Gas to provide written notice when it implements the accelerated pipeline replacement project and adopted a reporting structure as guidance for reporting Washington Gas’ progress.

Washington Gas is currently considering its options in this matter.
