The Public Utilities Commission of Nevada has scheduled a June 24 consumer session to receive comment on Southwest Gas Corporation’s application to raise natural gas rates.
The total proposed increase would raise about $38.3 million statewide but the vast majority of that, $35.2 million, would come from Southern Nevada customers.
In Northern Nevada, primarily Carson City, the increase would generate about $3.1 million.
A spokesman said the average single family home would see a monthly increase of $2.47 or 3.19 percent.
The Southern Nevada increase would be an 8.65 percent increase worth about $3.71 a month to the average home.
The company cited higher costs related to capital investments and a change in the cost of capital. In addition, officials pointed to the company’s Customer Data Modernization Initiative.
