💨 Abstract

In the D.C. region, gas and electric bills have been increasing and are likely to continue rising due to a proposed 12% rate hike by Washington Gas. The increase is needed to cover infrastructure costs. Other utility bills, including electricity, have also risen recently. Unpredictable weather and regulatory decisions have contributed to these increases, causing financial strain for many residents. The Public Service Commission is considering the rate hike and has held community meetings to discuss the proposal.
