I am willing to bet though that they will still charge a large re-connect fee
even though
it will cost them nothing to do so.

PPL was in the national news (WSJ?) yesterday. Evidently they are trying to
set
p their digitial computers to shut off gas without having a gas man to go to
roperty once the user is $10 past due. Now, it is able to shut off if you
are
30 past due, but it cost them more than that to send gas man to the property.

nce all digital, computer can auto-cut-off $10 past due. cold

PPL just (last month) sold the residential gas service to
UGI. That's
when the rate jumped by about $1/dekatherm. It's now
$13.5311/DT plus
all the other "give us money" surcharges.

We have a local electric company that buys power, so our
rates change
all the time.
