We know you value clean, resilient natural gas to fuel your life and we thank you for choosing Peoples Gas to deliver it to your home.
On March 31, 2025, we filed a petition with the Florida Public Service Commission (PSC) requesting a future base rate adjustment. Base rates will not increase in 2025.
In August, Peoples Gas filed a joint motion with intervening parties, including the Office of Public Counsel, requesting the PSC approve a settlement agreement that resolves all issues in our rate request proceeding.
On Oct. 7, 2025, the PSC approved our motion to approve the settlement, resulting in an overall increase that is less than we originally proposed.
Our base rate increase will begin in January 2026 and will vary by customer rate class. Residential customers with annual consumption between 100 and 1,999 therms will see an increase ranging from approximately $2.70 to $8.50 to their total monthly bills, depending on usage (most residential customers will see a monthly increase close to $8.00). View the 2026 residential rates.
The PSC also approved our request to streamline our residential rate classes. We are closing RS-1 to new customers. Existing RS-1 customers will continue to bill on this rate as long as their annual usage is less than 99 therms. Rate classes RS-2 and RS-3 will be combined into one rate class, RS-2, for residential usage up
to 1,999 therms per year.
As Florida grows, Peoples Gas must continue to make investments in our team, our tools, and the maintenance and expansion of our system to serve customers and communities across the state. The decision to raise rates is not an easy one for us. There is never a good time for it, and we know increased prices are affecting everyone. We take the responsibility to deliver safe, dependable and affordable energy to our customers seriously, and that includes managing our business carefully while meeting their evolving expectations.
Natural gas continues to be a good value when compared with other energy sources for household needs.
