PGW customers will see their gas bills go up at the end of November. The Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission approved a rate increase for the utility last week that will raise the company’s annual distribution rate revenue by more than $26 million, or around 3%, effective Nov. 29. The increase is less than a third of what the utility originally sought. “PGW takes our obligation to our customers seriously, and we are disappointed in the limited rate relief granted by the commission,” said PGW chief of staff Melanie McCottry. “It is the view of PGW that the commission’s decision will hinder PGW’s ability to sufficiently meet the current needs of our customers while also adding an additional financial burden to them.”
