News:
CenterPoint Energy is encouraging customers in its Indiana South natural gas territory to prepare for an increase in their natural gas bills this winter season. Officials say customers benefited last year from lower wholesale natural gas prices due to a less chaotic natural gas market. According to a press release, this year’s natural gas costs are projected to increase over last year’s heating season as the demand in natural gas continues to grow. CenterPoint Energy officials say customers can expect to pay on average $129 a month over the 5-month period from November to March.
