Peoples Is Expanding
Many communities do not have access to natural gas service. They heat their homes with other sources, such as oil, propane, and electricity. All of these fuels are more expensive and less environmentally friendly than natural gas. In order to give these communities options, Peoples filed a Service Expansion Tariff (SET) with the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission (PUC); this SET allowed us to extend our lines to provide natural gas to homes and businesses in many of these communities, so residents can save money heating their homes. Customers will experience immediate and significant savings on their monthly energy bills.
