Understanding Your Energy Costs

As the cost of goods and services increase, we work every day to ensure we are providing you the safest, most reliable, lowest cost natural gas we can. We don't mark up or profit from the price you pay for natural gas. You pay what we pay.

You may have noticed higher bills recently compared to the same period in prior years. Several components determine the amount of your gas bill each month - including natural gas prices, that have risen to unprecedented levels, causing your Gas Charges to be higher this season. Take control of your monthly bill by learning more about the factors that determine what you pay and taking steps to lower your energy usage.

We appreciate our customers and the community and will continue to deliver value with safe, reliable, affordable natural gas.
