Peoples Gas rates to increase

Customers of Peoples Natural Gas will pay more for their gas.

Effective today, Jan. 1, the quarterly adjusted gas cost commodity rate will increase from $3.37 per thousand cubic feet (mcf) to $3.69 per mcf.

With the increase, a residential customer who uses 80,000 cubic feet per year, or 6.7 mcf per month, will see a monthly bill increase from $81 to $88, said Carol Scanlon, Peoples manager of rates.

The commodity gas cost is a straight dollar-for-dollar pass through from Peoples to the customers, thus Peoples does not profit from the gas cost commodity rate, Scanlon said.

Peoples serves about 31,200 customers in Blair County.

Starting at $2.99/week.
