Facts About Natural Gas

Approximately 65% to 70% of a customer’s natural gas bill reflects the cost of natural gas from wholesale suppliers.

The wholesale cost of natural gas (the cost your local natural gas company must pay to its suppliers for natural gas) is not regulated by the Missouri Public Service Commission.

 

The wellhead cost of natural gas is unregulated and is primarily driven by supply, demand and the weather. The Missouri Public Service Commission does conduct an annual regulatory review to ensure that regulated natural gas companies make prudent decisions in securing natural gas supplies for their customers.

 

Safety First: If you smell the odor of natural gas in the air, don’t stay inside your home. Leave your home or residence and contact your natural gas provider.
