Changes coming to UGI Natural Gas rates | ABC27

(WHTM) – UGI natural gas customers should expect a rate increase starting next month and potentially more increases later this year.

UGCI says starting June 1, residential heating customers will see a 4.5% increase in their bill. Commercial customers will see a 6% increase and retail customers will have a 6.5% increase.

UGI says it will also submit its December 1 natural gas cost rate projection in an annual filing with the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission.

If approved, UGI says rates will increase again starting December 1, 2024, with typical residential heating customers seeing an increase of an additional 7.3% on their bill.

Commercial customers could see an additional 9.6% increase and retail customers could see an additional 10.3% increase on December 1.

“Despite this increase, natural gas remains a clean, reliable, and cost-effective energy choice,” says Paul Szykman, Chief Regulatory Officer. “UGI works to identify and acquire the lowest cost supply options for customers and our proximity to Marcellus Shale natural gas continues to achieve that goal on behalf of the customers.”

Customers may call UGI at 1-800-276-2722 to receive further information on the proposed rates or to find out what actions they may take.
