CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) - Wyoming residents who heat their homes with natural gas are in for some big bills this winter.
Figures released by the state Public Service Commission show natural gas rates will increase an average of 32 percent statewide this winter.
Most people in Wyoming heat their residential homes with natural gas. Natural gas customers in Lander and Riverton will see their monthly average cost go from $159 to $235 per month, an increase of $76 dollars.
PSC secretary and chief counsel Chris Petrie says rates change every day but it's likely people will be paying more this winter than last winter mainly because of the higher price for natural gas on the market.
The PSC is trying to help residents prepare for the higher heating bills by holding a winter heating conference in Casper on August 20th. In addition, PSC commissioners are holding a series of town meetings across the state.
