National Fuel Gas Files a Petition Seeking a 19.7M Rate Increase
National Fuel Gas has filed a base rate case with the Pennsylvania Public Utilities Commission.
In the natural gas utility’s cover letter, the gas utility indicates that National Fuel is seeking a base rate increase of approximately $ 19.7 million.
If the Company’s entire request is approved, the total bill for a residential customer using 80 ccf per month would increase from $83.49 to $88.44 per month, or by 5.98/0.
The filing contains an effective date of March 29, 2026.
Among other things the Company’s filing includes a proposal to reinstate a tariff rider that would provide a refund of Other-Post Employment Benefits (“OPEB”) funds of approximately $6.2 million to all customers and also provide a one-time bill credit of $30, totaling approximately $1.025 million, to Customer Assistance Program (“CAP”), Level l, and Level 2 customers.
