There are two primary charges on your bill: the Gas Cost and the Delivery Charge.
Your Gas Cost is based on usage – how much natural gas you use to heat your home, warm water, dry clothes, cook a hot meal, or other natural gas uses you may use in your home. The price of gas, like other commodities, is affected by supply and demand. We purchase gas on your behalf, the price you pay is what we actually paid for the gas, with no markup or profit to the Company.
The Delivery Charge primarily reflects a base rate for the cost of providing safe and reliable natural gas service to your home or business. These base rates are only adjusted after a general rate case.
The remaining costs are comprised of surcharges for specific previously approved programs and federal, state, and local taxes.
