<p>The Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission each year asks utilities to predict where rates will be eight months in advance.</p>
<p>As National Fuel Gas Distribution Corp. looks ahead to Aug. 1, the utility is predicting a slight increase in gas prices.</p>
<p>For now – until at least Feb. 1, when the next quarterly rate adjustment takes place – rates remain at some of lowest levels in years. An adjustment that took place on Nov. 1 lowered the average monthly bill for a customer who uses balanced billing from $68.46 a month to $66.51.</p>
<p>It’s not clear what will happen to prices on Feb. 1.</p>
<p>But as 2019 ends, National Fuel is predicting that eight months into the new year prices will be slightly higher.</p>
<p>The company is projecting an increase in overall gas supply charges for a typical residential customer of $32.23 per year.</p>
<p>If approved, monthly bills would increase from a projected $69.49 to $72.18 a month.</p>
<p>According to National Fuel, which serves 250,000 customers in western Pennsylvania, the primary reason for the increase is that the cost of natural gas is projected to be slightly higher.</p>
<p>According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, there are three main factors that affect natural gas prices; the amount of gas production, the amount of gas in storage and the volume of gas imports and exports.</p>
<p>It seems likely that sustained low prices, a product of increased gas production in the Marcellus and Utica shale formations, has led to the slight increase.</p>
<p>In October, David Bauer, CEO of Buffalo-based National Fuel Gas Co., said the industry was drilling fewer wells because of lower prices. That could reduce the supply of gas or at least reduce the growth of the supply.</p>
<p>National Fuel’s price projection is just a prediction and could change with market conditions.</p>

<p>This is wonderful news Keith, and represents a great future for our country. For those of us members who have been on this journey with you from the onset of Marcellus Shale gas development to now, it`s a sweet victory that may or may not offer financial gains for us older members and landowners. I don`t mean that to sound like sour grapes or whining but it represents the emotions we have all felt waiting for that gas company notice announcing it was now our turn for gas royalties!…</p>
