News Brief

With the cold weather this year comes higher prices for home gas: the companies that supply gas to homes for cooking and heating are likely to increase their prices by 5% to 10% in the coming weeks. The reason for the increase: gas prices have been steadily climbing in the past few weeks, and companies are projecting an increase in gas use during the cold months, with demand possibly outstripping supply.

Prices for home gas – used for cooking and heating – are generally stable, and are not under any government supervision.
