Parties to the non-unanimous settlement include UGI, the Office of Consumer Advocate, and the Office of Small Business Advocate. 

Penn Renewables has contested the default service proceeding on the grounds that UGI has proposed a change how net metered customers are assigned to a default service class and the price net metered customers pay for excess generation.  The non-unanimous settlement would establish a default service plan for UGI for the period June 1, 2025, through May 31, 2029 (DSP V).
