Williams agreed to pay $12 million as part of a class action lawsuit settlement to resolve claims it worked with other utility companies to overcharge Wisconsin residents for natural gas.
The settlement benefits consumers and entities who purchased natural gas in Wisconsin for industrial or commercial purposes between Jan. 1, 2000, and Oct. 31, 2002.
The antitrust class action lawsuit claims Williams conspired with CenterPoint, Xcel Energy and other utility companies to raise and fix the price of natural gas. This allegedly caused Wisconsin businesses to overpay for their natural gas services.
Williams is a natural gas company that handles around one-third of the natural gas used each day by Americans.Â
Williams hasn’t admitted any wrongdoing but agreed to a $12 million settlement to resolve the antitrust class action lawsuit.
Under the terms of the settlement, class members can receive a cash payment based on the amount they paid for natural gas during the settlement period. No payment estimates are available at this time.Â
The exclusion deadline was June 5, 2023. The objection deadline was May 30, 2023.
The final approval hearing for the settlement was held June 30, 2023.
Class members have until July 26, 2023, to file a valid claim form with the settlement. Class members who previously filed an accepted claim in previous Wisconsin natural settlements in 2017, 2019 or 2020 do not need to file another claim.
