PUC Schedules Hearings To Gather Public Input On Proposed Rate Increase Requested By UGI Utilities Inc. – Electric Division
Early June in-person public input hearings scheduled in Luzerne County, along with telephonic hearings
HARRISBURG – The Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission (PUC) will hold a series of in-person and telephonic hearings in early-June to gather public input on the proposed rate increase requested by UGI Utilities Inc. – Electric Division (UGI Electric). UGI Electric provides electric distribution services to approximately 63,000 customers in Luzerne and Wyoming counties.
On March 27, 2026, UGI Electric filed a request to increase annual overall revenue by nearly $17.3 million (about 11.9%). On April 16, 2026, the PUC voted to suspend and investigate the company’s request which as proposed would result in the total monthly bill for a residential customer, using 1,000 kilowatt hours per month, increasing from $200.50 to $226.23 (12.8%).
A final decision by the Commission on this rate increase request is due by Jan. 1, 2027.
Customers are encouraged to follow the case and learn more about how to participate in the ratemaking process through resources available on the PUC’s website.
