Understanding your natural gas bill
Several factors determine the amount of your natural gas bill each month. The typical residential customer bill for natural gas is made up of three key areas that may affect their monthly bill amount: the cost of gas, distribution charges and facilities charges.
- Natural gas cost (60%-70% of your bill). Natural gas costs make up the largest portion of your bill. This is the charge for the natural gas you use during the billing month. The charge is calculated by multiplying your usage by the average cost per therm we pay to purchase the natural gas. The amount you pay, varies monthly based on the cost of gas and the amount you use. We buy natural gas on the commodities market, similar to goods such as oil or milk. The price we pay for the natural gas is the same price you pay — there is no markup.
- Distribution service charge (20%-30% of your bill). The distribution service charge includes delivering natural gas from the gate station to your location.
- Facilities charge (approximately 10% of your bill). A monthly charge that helps cover the fixed costs of providing service to customers. This includes equipment, billing and programs.
