The following story is brought free of charge to readers by VertexOne, the exclusive EDI provider of EnergyChoiceMatters.com
The New Jersey natural gas utilities have filed proposed annual updates to the basic gas supply service rate applicable to residential and other small customers
Public Service Electric and Gas Company is requesting to maintain the current BGSS-RSG Commodity Charge of $0.363440 per therm (including losses and SUT) for the new period of October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027
Per a prior order applicable to all LDCs, PSE&G would have authority to self-implement increases in the BGSS RSG Commodity Charge during the October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027 period on December 1, 2026, and on February 1, 2027, subject to a 5% cap for each self-implemented increase.
PSE&G reported that its computation of the BGSS Commodity Charge for RSG shows that a
rate of $0.368281 per therm (including losses and SUT) would be required to reduce the
projected under-collection of $5.8M (excluding losses and SUT) to zero by September 30,
2027, based on May 7th NYMEX prices
"However ... the Company is
requesting to forgo the rate increase ... and maintain the current BGSS rate of
$0.363440 per therm (including losses and SUT) given the minimal projected under-recovery," PSE&G said
New Jersey Natural Gas Company proposes to decrease its periodic
BGSS rate for sales customers from its current after-tax level of $0.4567 per therm
($0.4283 per therm pre-tax) to $0.4017 per therm ($0.3767 per therm pre-tax), effective
October 1, 2026.
South Jersey Gas Company seeks to decrease the Periodic BGSS rate from $0.587455
per therm to $0.568586 per therm, inclusive of applicable
taxes, for the period beginning October 1, 2026 and ending September
30, 2027.
Elizabethtown Gas Company seeks to decrease the BGSS-P rate from $0.6962 per therm
to $0.5775 per therm, inclusive of applicable taxes, for the period beginning October 1, 2026 and ending September
