UGI Utilities, Inc. - Gas Division filed a request with the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission (PUC) on January 28, 2026, seeking 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, according to the company's announcement.
UGI serves more than 700,000 customers across 46 counties in Pennsylvania. The rate adjustment would allow the utility to continue modernizing its infrastructure, including pipeline replacements and facility enhancements, which are critical for delivering natural gas safely and efficiently. The company emphasized that the upgrades are necessary to meet evolving safety standards and customer demand.
The filing is now subject to review by the PUC, which will evaluate the proposal through a public hearing process. Customers and stakeholders will have an opportunity to provide input before a final decision is made. If approved, the new rates would take effect later in 2026.
