by | Aug 27, 2026 | Area News, Latest

Customers of Atmos Energy will be paying more for natural gas, effective Oct. 1. The Princeton City Council has approved a rate settlement negotiated between Atmos and a committee of cities it serves. 

The gas company says the average residential customer’s monthly bill will increase by 14.15% — or $13.37 — and commercial customers will pay 9.90% more, or $44.82.

Average calculations are based on a residential customer using 40.7 Ccf  [hundred cubic feet] per month and currently paying $94.48, Atmos said.   The average commercial customer consumes 372.6 Ccf and is currently paying $452.93.
