Natural Gas Price Alert – Cold Weather Impacts
Due to extreme cold across much of the country, increased demand for natural gas is expected to cause a short-term rise in natural gas prices. Centennial Utilities purchases natural gas at market price and passes that cost directly to customers with no mark-up the utility does not profit from the cost of natural gas.
From today through Monday, January 26, 2026 (potentially), customers are encouraged—if health and comfort allow—to conserve energy by lowering thermostat settings to 65 degrees during the day and five degrees lower while asleep or away. Small adjustments can help reduce energy use and limit the impact of higher natural gas prices on heating bills.
Centennial Utilities remains committed to providing safe and reliable service and encourages residents to have a cold weather plan in place to stay safe and warm.
