Direct use of natural gas — such as for space and water heating, cooking and clothes drying — is a good thing, and more of it would be even better, according to the American Gas Foundation (AGF). This is particularly true when caps are placed on carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions.

Columbia Gas of Pennsylvania filed with the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission (PUC) for a rate hike, its first such request in 12 years, the utility said. The company is proposing an increase of $59.9 million annually (a 10.3% increase in annual revenues). Residential customers using 7.2 Mcf/month would pay $113.94, an increase of $10.99, or less than 11%, the company said. Commercial customers using 43.5 Mcf/month would pay $557.89, up $23.13. Industrial customers using 500 Mcf/month would pay $6,029.45, up $241.11. The proposed effective date for the increase is March 28. However, this will likely be suspended while the PUC reviews the request. The review is expected to last about nine months. The company said it has pledged to expand its weatherization and customer assistance efforts. It also noted that it recently announced plans to invest $1.4 billion to replace aging pipes and other facilities. The goal is to replace about 600,000 feet of aging underground pipes and distribution facilities each year.
