Item 5. Other Events

Alabama Gas Corporation (Alagasco), the natural gas distribution subsidiary of Energen Corporation, has filed a request with the Alabama Public Service Commission (APSC) to continue its 19-year-old rate-setting methodology, Rate Stabilization and Equalization (Rate RSE), through January 1, 2008, and thereafter, unless the APSC, after notice and a public hearing, votes either to modify Rate RSE or discontinue its operation after that date. Timing of consideration of the utility's request is at the sole discretion of the APSC. In the interim, Alagasco will continue to operate under the existing order, which extended Rate RSE without change in October 1996.
