UGI Utilities Proposed Rate Hikes

UGI has proposed rate hikes for customers per their notice that are inequitable and unfair. The rate increase for residential customers is planned to be 8.9% per month. For small businesses, the rate hike is 10.8% per month. For the largest businesses and heaviest consumers of electricity, the rate increase is a mere 0.3%. To put this in perspective, if a home customer has a bill of $200/month, the new bill would be $217.18/month.  For a small business owner with a bill of $200/month, the new increased bill is $221.60/month. To make the comparison easier, a corporation with a bill of $200/month would see an increase of 6 pennies for a grand total of $200.06. This is unfair to both residential customers and small business owners, as we would carry the burden of the increase, while the ones who are most able to afford the increase, larger businesses, will see barely an increase. Please contact UGI and the Pennsylvania Utility Commission (PUC) by 3/28/2023 to attempt to counter these increases. There are three options for customers to express their concerns:
File a formal complaint. All complaints must be filed with the PUC before 3/28/2023.

Send a letter to UGI explaining why you object to the rate increase. The letter can be sent to this address:
