What Makes SoCalGas Bills Rise

Southern California Gas has passed along increasing commodity costs in recent years, and the California Public Utilities Commission has approved rate adjustments that raise the per-therm delivery charge. On top of that, bills include fixed charges such as the customer charge and the Public Purpose Programs Charge, which apply regardless of how much gas you use. For households that rely on gas heating in winter, seasonal rate changes can produce dramatic bill increases that feel unavoidable but are often partly correctable.
