UGI clients may see an increase in their bills.
On Monday, the Gas Division of UGI Utilities Inc. submitted a proposal to the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission to raise base rates for commercial, industrial, and residential customers by $110.4 million per year.
According to the firm, the requested increase would pay its continuing expenses for the operations and system upgrades required to keep natural gas supply safe and dependable.
This is how much more customers can anticipate paying if the company’s complete request is granted:
Only the delivery charge section of a customer’s bill will be impacted by the request for a UGI rate increase. According to UGI, the delivery fee gives a utility the money it needs to own, run, and maintain the gas distribution system as well as offer emergency response and customer support.
According to UGI, the higher gas prices should go into effect on March 28. To allow for an inquiry and public hearings, the PUC usually postpones the general base rate proceedings’ effective date. According to UGI, the higher prices would not go into effect until October 2025 because the entire PUC process is anticipated to take about nine months from the date of filing.
The Gas Division of UGI Utilities Inc. provides service to over 700,000 customers in 46 Pennsylvania counties.
