On August 5, 2024, WGL filed an Application requesting authority to increase existing rates and charges for natural gas service in the District of Columbia. According to the filing, the requested rates are designed to collect approximately $45.6 million in total annual revenues, which represents an increase in WGL’s rate base of approximately $33.9 million and would result in an overall increase of approximately 11.9% in revenue collection over and above current rates. This revenue increase includes $11.7 million associated with natural gas system upgrades previously approved by the Commission and currently paid by customers through the PROJECTpipes monthly surcharges.

WGL’s proposal anticipates that, if approved, residential heating/cooling customers would see an increase of 17.6 percent in their overall monthly bills. The typical bill for a residential sales service, heating/cooling customer, on average, using about 52 therms of gas per month would increase by $15.33. WGL claims that its requested increase is necessary because its existing rates do not provide WGL an opportunity to earn a reasonable rate of return in the District.
