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.
