The cost of natural gas is listed on your bill as the Commodity Charge. This covers what we pay our suppliers, plus delivery and adjustment costs.
Includes any applicable local, city, county, and state taxes and charges.
The Commodity Charge is shaped by regional and national markets, and we pass it directly to you with no markup. We don't control the market price of natural gas. What we can do is work hard to secure the lowest possible rates for you. To keep things fair and fully transparent, we file all of these rates with our regulators for review.
We understand that warmth is essential to your comfort and well-being. That’s why we’re committed to connecting you with programs and resources to help you manage your utility bills.
