Natural gas once again getting cheaper for UGI customers - lehighvalleylive.com

UGI Utilities Inc. bills are dropping Friday, the natural gas provider announced.

The decrease is due to lower purchased gas cost rates that UGI passes directly through to customers without any markup.

As a result, the average residential heating customer receiving gas supply from UGI will see a bill decrease of 3.1%, lowering the average monthly bill from $93.96 per month to $91.04 per month.

“As natural gas supply pricing has continued to drop, UGI is pleased to pass the savings on to customers purchasing supply from UGI,” says Paul Szykman, the chief regulatory officer for the company based in Denver, Pennsylvania, said in a statement. “This rate decrease follows a significant drop in December and is benefiting our customers during the winter heating season.

“Natural gas continues to be a safe, reliable, low carbon and increasingly more affordable energy choice.”

UGI serves more than 740,000 natural gas and electric customers in 45 counties in Pennsylvania, including Lehigh and Northampton.
