The Pennsylvania Utility Commission approved a settlement that reduces UGI’s initial request by nearly 35%.

This means the average residential customer will see their monthly bill increase by about $6.45, instead of the nearly $10 per month initially proposed.

The settlement also includes a commitment from UGI to not seek another rate increase until at least January 2029.
