Reply to comment by degggendorf in I got another huge bill from Rhode Island Energy Gas by thentangler

+Distribution Adjustment Charge went from .198 to .3713

+24h a day is now charge at peak distribution charge.

I understand the supply problem. I want to know why the charges they profit from have increased.

I think I can answer part of that.

For natural gas, all of November through April is considered peak season, which is accurate as far as usage goes. Why distribution costs more when we use more and there's a reverse economy of scale? I don't know.

I also don't know what exactly the Distribution Adj Charge means, nor why it's almost doubled. Ultimately because the PUC approved it, but I haven't read any report or seen any meeting minutes it anything to explain it.
