According to MetroNews, twelve natural gas companies providing service in West Virginia are seeking an increase in the winter rates they charge customers.
The recent filings from the companies with the state Public Service Commission for the Purchase Gas Adjustment (PGA) portion of their overall rates reflect the increased prices the companies have had to pay for gas in recent months.
The PSC usually gives preliminary approval to the rate changes by Nov. 1 of each year.
Hope Gas/Dominion Energy, the area's primary provider, has the second largest number of customers in West Virginia. The company is asking the PSC to raise its winter rate by nearly 16.7% which would represent a 49-cent increase per Mcf.
