Say NO to the Peoples Gas Rate Hike

Say NO to the Peoples Gas Rate Hike

In the next few weeks, Peoples Gas is hoping that the Illinois Commerce Commission will approve the largest gas rate hike in Illinois history. If you live in Chicago or know people who do, you’ve probably heard about how absurd prices already are, with the average customer spending more than $50 every month in fixed charges before they even use any gas.

While fossil fuels are certainly expensive, this isn’t just the cost of doing business. Peoples Gas hasn’t been struggling these last few years; their shareholders have enjoyed record profits for six years in a row.

That’s why earlier this month, Peoples Gas customers and clean energy advocates testified before the Commission to stop the rate hike! Take a moment to watch and share the recap video on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram!

Stopping this rate hike is our first priority since the Commission is expected to vote on it in the next few weeks. That’s why it’s so important that they hear from us. You can sign this petition, then share the video above to help spread the word.
