Millions of residents in the Chicago area could see higher gas bills next year after Nicor Gas filed a request for a $321 million rate hike with the Illinois Commerce Commission this week.
Nicor said the request would"adjust rates to allow the company to meet the current and future demands of our 2.3 million customers for clean, safe, reliable and affordable natural gas service."
The change would lead to an increase in gas bills of about $9.28 per month for the company's roughly 2.3 million customers, a spokesperson told NBC Chicago Wednesday. The commission has 11 months to rule on the request. "Nicor Gas realizes the impact any rate increase can have on customers and does not make this request lightly; however, this rate increase is necessary to run our business due to inflation and rising global impacts that continue to affect our operating and maintenance costs," Nicor said in a statement.
The Citizens Utility Board called the rate increase request from Nicor a"gut punch to consumers who are in their second consecutive winter of painfully high gas bills."
