Nicor Gas seeks $309M rate hike in Illinois, claiming need for infrastructure improvements.

Nicor Gas, Illinois' largest gas utility, has requested a $309 million rate hike, seeking approval from the Illinois Commerce Commission that could increase monthly bills by about $7.50. Nicor claims the hike is needed for infrastructure improvements, while consumer advocates criticize it as a "money-grab." This would be the fifth rate increase since 2018 and the largest in Illinois history.
