Higher wholesale fuel prices combined with an increase in demand due to a likely colder winter will hit residential bills hard this year, the U.S. Energy Information Administration predicts in itsHow much higher your bill might be this year depends on what part of the country you live in and how you heat your home.
Since July, Richmond Gas Works, which facilitates natural gas for the whole metro area, has been able to set the Purchased Gas Cost monthly as opposed to quarterly, Rhonda Johnson, spokesperson for the city Department of Public Utility, tells Axios. And this month that cost actually went down by 33%, from $1.13 per 100 cubic feet in October to 76 cents, Johnson said.
Since Gas Works is required to pass the cost to consumers, Richmonders should see the lower rate in their bills this month.
