Marcellus
Shale Reducing Home Fuel Bill
Friday, February 1, 2013
HARRISBURG
- Effective
today, National Fuel Gas customers will be paying less to heat their homes. National fuel has asked the Public Utility Commission
for a quarterly adjustment which includes a 6.7% decrease in fuel costs to its
customers. The reduction will lower the
monthly bill of a typical residential customer from $76.61 to $71.45. According to National Fuel, the decrease is
due, in large part, to increasing Marcellus shale gas production.
