UGI Utilities, Inc. - Gas Division announced on January 28, 2026, that it has filed a request with the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission (PUC) to increase its base rates for residential, commercial, and industrial customers by $99.4 million annually. The proposed increase is intended to recover UGI's investment in system upgrades and maintain safe and reliable natural gas service.
The filing, made under the Pennsylvania Public Utility Code, seeks to adjust the base rates that cover the costs of delivering natural gas to customers, excluding the cost of the gas itself. UGI serves more than 700,000 customers across 46 counties in Pennsylvania. The company stated that the rate increase is necessary to fund ongoing infrastructure improvements, including the replacement of aging pipelines and the modernization of facilities to enhance safety and reliability.
If approved by the PUC, the new rates would take effect following a review process that includes public hearings and input from stakeholders. The PUC is expected to issue a final decision within several months. UGI emphasized that the proposed increase reflects the company's commitment to providing dependable service while complying with regulatory standards.
