UGI Utilities, Inc. - Gas Division has filed a request with the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission (PUC) to increase its base rates for residential, commercial, and industrial customers by $99.4 million annually. The proposed increase, announced on January 28, 2026, aims to recover UGI’s investment in system upgrades and maintain safe and reliable natural gas service across its service territory.
UGI serves more than 700,000 customers in 46 counties across Pennsylvania. The company’s request will be reviewed by the PUC, which will determine the final rate adjustment after public hearings and analysis. The proposed increase reflects UGI’s ongoing commitment to modernizing its infrastructure and ensuring the safety and reliability of natural gas delivery.

The PUC’s decision is expected later this year.
