New Jersey Natural Gas Files Annual Rate Adjustments With the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities
Costs for Residential Heating Customers Remain Essentially Flat
“New Jersey Natural Gas is dedicated to providing safe, reliable natural gas service at a reasonable price,” said
In its filing, NJNG is seeking a reduction to its BGSS rate, which is offset by an equal increase to its Balancing Charge. Winter weather remained warmer-than-normal year over year resulting in a minimal decrease of 0.1% related to the CIP. In its energy-efficiency recovery filing, NJNG is seeking a 0.6% increase to recover costs associated with the investment in its SAVEGREEN programs. The overall effect of these filings is an increase of 0.5%, or
The BGSS and Balancing Charge recover the cost of natural gas supplied to customers and balance deliveries with customer usage. The BGSS is a pass through to customers. Any change to this rate does not result in a change in profits for the company. The CIP helps normalize year-to-year fluctuation from changing weather and usage patterns on both customers’ bills and NJNG’s financial margins.
