UGI Asks Natural Gas Customers To Conserve Energy Use Due To Regional Natural Gas Supply Constraints [Request Ended]

On December 24,
UGI Utilities announced it is requesting customers to voluntarily reduce natural gas utilization through noon on Sunday due to regional natural gas supply constraints caused by extreme weather conditions.
[The request ended on December 25 at noon.]

UGI said natural gas customers can take simple conservation steps such as:

– Setting thermostats to 65 degrees, if health permits;

– Postponing use of natural gas appliances such as stoves, ovens, and clothes dryers;

– Avoiding use of natural gas fireplaces.

Customers with questions or concerns are urged to contact the UGI Call Center at 1-800-276-2722 for additional information. UGI, based in Reading, serves 730,000 customers in 45 Pennsylvania counties.
