Understanding your natural gas charges

Much of the Peoples Gas cost for operating and maintaining a safe and reliable system to deliver natural gas to your business is incurred regardless of how much gas you use or don't use.

Your natural gas bill consists of these charges.

Every customer receives a monthly customer charge on each bill. This charge is fixed and cannot be changed by the company without the approval from the Florida Public Service Commission.

The distribution charge, the cost per unit of gas used, recovers all additional costs associated with delivering gas safely and reliably to your home or business. This is a fixed rate and cannot be changed without the approval of the Florida Public Service Commission.

Taxes and fees include local and state taxes, as applicable. Your bill may also include past due or transferred amounts, service initiation charges or a deposit charge.
