MILWAUKEE (WTAQ) – Wisconsin’s largest natural gas utility predicts an 18 percent decrease in heating bills this winter.
We Energies says the average home customer will pay $489 for natural gas between November and next April. That’s $107 less than the previous winter, and $140 less than the average for the past decade.
We Energies says the figures reflect a normal weather pattern, plus steady wholesale gas prices.
Weather forecasters predict an El Niño winter with warmer temperatures and less snow, which could mean even lower heating bills.
We Energies says its forecast is for the cheapest gas heating prices in 14 years.
The Milwaukee-based utility has 1.1 million natural gas customers throughout Wisconsin.
