Scranton officials oppose UGI's request for an up to 11% gas rate hike, seeking a public hearing.

Scranton officials are opposing UGI Utilities' request to increase gas rates by up to 11%, arguing it would harm families and small businesses. They are calling for a public hearing with the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission (PUC) before the March 28th deadline. The PUC may delay any rate increase until October 2025 pending an investigation and public hearings. Officials hope to achieve a similar success as in 2023 when they reduced a proposed water rate increase.
