Utility To Lower Default Service Rates Due To Federal Tax Cuts
So, the tax cut you heard about is lowering electric rates.
Baltimore Gas and Electric filed to lower its electric rate by 15%. This is due to their corporate tax rate decreasing from 35% to 21%. No word on if salaries are increasing for their employees. This will undoubtedly be a trend for utilities.
Remember, a utility is a monopoly and they can only earn their guaranteed rate of return; any surplus has to be refunded to customers.

Recent cold snap shatters Polar Vortex records for natural gas demand — could send bills surging
Citizen’s Energy Group reported a record use of natural gas. Due to the recent polar vortex (when temperatures drop to well below 0) from Dec 26 through Jan 6 (10 days) over 5.6 million dekatherms were used; MORE THAN a 25 day supply during normal winter weather!
With the extreme cold you had price increases of about 3 times more than normal. Bills will be higher for January. However, more moderate winter weather is forecast so the increase will be temporary.
