The Department of Public Utilities (DPU) is proposing changes to its natural gas rate intended to close the gap between budgeted operational costs and the revenues that cover those costs.

An introduction of the proposed rate ordinance was first presented on April 1 during a BPU meeting. The proposed ordinance is posted on the DPU’s Rates and Fees webpage at https://ladpu.com/rates.

If approved by the BPU at its June 9 meeting, the ordinance will take effect on July 1.
